Abstract: Various properties of two kinds of massless representations of the n-conformal (or (n+1)-De Sitter) group $ilde{G}_n=widetilde{SO}_0(2,n)$ are investigated for $nge2$. It is found that, for space-time dimensions $nge3$, the situation is quite similar to the one of the n=4 case for $S_n$-massless representations of the n-De Sitter group $widetilde{SO}_0(2,n-1)$. These representations are the restrictions of the singletons of $ilde{G}_n$. The main difference is that they are not contained in the tensor product of two UIRs with the same sign of energy when n>4, whereas it is the case for another kind of massless representation. Finally some examples of Gupta-Bleuler triplets are given for arbitrary spin and $nge3$.
