Bigravity as a Tool for Massive Gravity
The formulation of massive gravity as bigravity is discussed. We argue that bigravity is more than a tool to tackle massive deformation of gravity.
متن کاملBigravity and Lorentz-violating Massive Gravity
Bigravity is a natural arena where a non-linear theory of massive gravity can be formulated. If the interaction between the metrics f and g is non-derivative, spherically symmetric exact solutions can be found. At large distances from the origin, these are generically Lorentz-breaking bi-flat solutions (provided that the corresponding vacuum energies are adjusted appropriately). The spectrum of...
متن کاملHigher-derivative Two-dimensional Massive Fermion Theories
We consider the canonical quantization of a generalized two-dimensional massive fermion theory containing higher odd-order derivatives. The requirements of Lorentz invariance, hermiticity of the Hamiltonian and absence of tachyon excitations suffice to fix the mass term, which contains a derivative coupling. We show that the basic quantum excitations of a higher-derivative theory of order 2N + ...
متن کاملDark Halo or Bigravity?
Observations show that about the 20% of the Universe is composed by invisible (dark) matter (DM), for which many candidates have been proposed. In particular, the anomalous behavior of rotational curves of galaxies (i.e. the flattening at large distance instead of the Keplerian fall) requires that this matter is distributed in an extended halo around the galaxy. In order to reproduce this matte...
متن کاملGhost-free Braneworld Bigravity
We consider a generalisation of the DGP model, by adding a second brane with localised curvature, and allowing for a bulk cosmological constant and brane tensions. We study radion and graviton fluctuations in detail, enabling us to check for ghosts and tachyons. By tuning our parameters accordingly, we find bigravity models that are free from ghosts and tachyons. These models will lead to large...
