Title: Higher Spins and Sp(2n) Symmetry Abstract: We consider the Sp(2n) invariant formulation of higher spin fields on flat and curved backgrounds of constant curvature. In this formulation an infinite number of higher spin fields are packed into single scalar and spinor master fields (hyperfields) propagating on extended spaces, to be called hyperspaces, parametrized by tensorial coordinates. We show that the free field equations on flat and AdS--like hyperspaces are related to each other by a generalized conformal transformation of the scalar and spinor master fields and show how to compute Green functions.
