Abstract
We study deformations of massless indecomposable representations (Gupta-Ble uler triplets) for the De Sitter group SO(3,2), showing that there is no de formation of such representations toward a kind of massive Gupta-Bleuler tr iplets which would have corresponded to an analog of a Higgs-Kibble mechani sm in anti De Sitter space.
