Vasilievs higher-spin theories in various dimensions are uniformly represented as a simple system of equations. These equations and their gauge invariances are based on two superalgebras and have a transparent algebraic meaning. For a given higher-spin theory these algebras can be inferred from the vacuum higher-spin symmetries. The proposed system of equations admits a concise AKSZ formulation. We also discuss novel higher-spin systems including partially-massless and massive fields in AdS, as well as conformal and massless off-shell fields.

We give an explicit superspace construction of higher spin conserved supercurrents built out of $4D,mathcal{N}=1$ massless supermultiplets of arbitrary spin. These supercurrents are gauge invariant and generate a large class of cubic interactions bet
ween a massless supermultiplet with superspin $Y_1=s_1+1/2$ and two massless supermultiplets of arbitrary superspin $Y_2$. These interactions are possible only for $s_1geq 2Y_2$. At the equality, the supercurrent acquires its simplest form and defines the supersymmetric, higher spin extension of the linearized Bel-Robinson tensor.
We consider a four dimensional generalized Wess-Zumino model formulated in terms of an arbitrary K{a}hler potential $mathcal{K}(Phi,bar{Phi})$ and an arbitrary chiral superpotential $mathcal{W}(Phi)$. A general analysis is given to describe the possi
ble interactions of this theory with external higher spin gauge superfields of the ($s+1,s+1/2$) supermultiplet via higher spin supercurrents. It is shown that such interactions do not exist beyond supergravity $(sgeq2)$ for any $mathcal{K}$ and $mathcal{W}$. However, we find three exceptions, the theory of a free massless chiral, the theory of a free massive chiral and the theory of a free chiral with linear superpotential. For the first two, the higher spin supercurrents are known and for the third one we provide the explicit expressions. We also discuss the lower spin supercurrents. As expected, a coupling to (non-minimal) supergravity ($s=1$) can always be found and we give the generating supercurrent and supertrace for arbitrary $mathcal{K}$ and $mathcal{W}$. On the other hand, coupling to the vector supermultiplet ($s=0$) is possible only if $mathcal{K}=mathcal{K}(bar{Phi}Phi)$ and $mathcal{W}=0$.
We focus on the geometrical reformulation of free higher spin supermultiplets in $4rm{D},~mathcal{N}=1$ flat superspace. We find that there is a de Wit-Freedman like hierarchy of superconnections with simple gauge transformations. The requirement for
sensible free equations of motion imposes constraints on the gauge parameter superfields. Unlike the nonsupersymmetric case, we find several different constraints that can decouple the higher superconnections. By lifting these constraints nongeometrically via compensators we recover all known descriptions of arbitrary integer and half-integer gauge supermultiplets. In the constrained formulation we find a new description of half-integer supermultiplets, generalizing the new-minimal and virial formulations of linearized supergravity to higher spins. However this description can be formulated using compensators. The various descriptions can be labeled as geometrical or nongeometrical if the equations of motion can be expressed purely in terms of superconnections or not.
We elaborate on the spin projection operators in three dimensions and use them to derive a new representation for the linearised higher-spin Cotton tensors.
We propose a description of %manifestly supersymmetric continuous spin representations in $4D,mathcal{N}=1$ Minkowski superspace at the level of equations of motions. The usual continuous spin wave function is promoted to a chiral or a complex linear
superfield which includes both the single-valued (span integer helicities) and the double-valued (span half-integer helicities) representations thus making their connection under supersymmetry manifest. The set of proposed superspace constraints for both superfield generate the expected Wigners conditions for both representations.
