Stability of cosmological solutions in extended quasidilaton massive gravity
We consider the stability of self-accelerating solutions to extended quasidilaton massive gravity in the presence of matter. By making a second or extended fiducial metric dynamical in this model, matter can cause it to evolve from a Lorentzian to Euclidean signature, triggering a ghost instability. We study this possibility with scalar field matter as it can model a wide range of cosmological ...
متن کاملInstability in cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point
We demonstrate that cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point exhibits a negative energy bulk mode that grows linearly in time. Unless there are physical reasons to discard this mode, this theory is unstable. To address this issue we prove that the mode is not pure gauge and that its negative energy is time-independent and finite. The isometry generators L0 and L̄0 have non-...
متن کاملNonlinear Properties of Vielbein Massive Gravity
We consider a special theory of massive gravity, which is obtained in a decoupling limit from a bi– gravity theory in the vielbein formulation, with only cosmological constant-like interactions between the two gravitational sectors. We investigate this theory using the Stückelberg method, and construct a ’t Hooft–Feynman gauge fixing in which the tensor, vector and scalar Stückelberg fields are...
متن کاملNonlinear partially massless from massive gravity?
We show that consistent nonlinear partially massless models cannot be obtained starting from ‘‘f-g’’ massive gravity, with ‘‘f’’ the embedding de Sitter space. The obstruction, which is also the source of f-g acausality, is the very same fifth constraint that removes the notorious sixth ghost excitation. Here, however, it blocks extension of the gauge invariance (appearing for mass to de Sitter...
متن کاملRecovering the effective cosmological constant in extended gravity theories
In the framework of extended gravity theories, we discuss the meaning of a time dependent “cosmological constant” and give a set of conditions to recover asymptotic de Sitter behaviour for a class of cosmological models independently of initial data. To this purpose we introduce a time–dependent (effective) quantity which asymptotically becomes the true cosmological constant. We will deal with ...
