Abstract

This paper is devoted to a general solution of the massless spin-\(\frac {3}{2}\) field in de Sitter space without any conditions in ambient space formalism. A general solution of the second-order field equation can be written in terms of a vector-spinor polarization state and a massless conformally coupled scalar field.
