In this paper we derive the projectors to all irreducible SO (d) representations (traceless mixed-symmetry tensors) that appear in the partial wave decomposition of a conformal correlator of four stress-tensors in d dimensions. These projectors are given in a closed form for arbitrary length l 1 of the first row of the Young diagram. The appearance of Gegenbauer polynomials leads directly to recursion relations in l 1 for seed conformal blocks. Further results include a differential operator that generates the projectors to traceless mixed-symmetry tensors and the general normalization constant of the shadow operator.
