Recovering general relativity from massive gravity.
We obtain static, spherically symmetric, and asymptotically flat numerical solutions of massive gravity with a source. Those solutions show, for the first time explicitly, a recovery of the Schwarzschild solution of general relativity via the so-called Vainshtein mechanism.
متن کاملSpecial Relativity from Soft Gravitons
We study all translationally and rotationally invariant local theories involving massless spin 2 and spin 1 particles that mediate long range forces, allowing for general energy relations and violation of boost invariance. Although gauge invariance is not a priori required to describe non Lorentz invariant theories, we first establish that locality requires ‘soft gauge invariance’. Then by taki...
متن کاملConsistent Massive Colored Gravitons
A short review of the problems with the action for massive gravitons is presented. We show that consistency problems could be resolved by employing spontaneous symmetry breaking to give masses to gravitons. The idea is then generalized by enlarging the SL(2,C) symmetry to SL(2N,C)× SL(2N,C) which is broken to SL(2,C) spontaneously through a non-linear realization. The requirement that the space...
متن کاملStability of Massive Cosmological Gravitons
We analyze the physics of massive spin 2 fields in (A)dS backgrounds and exhibit that: The theory is stable only for masses m2 ≥ 2Λ/3, where the conserved energy associated with the background timelike Killing vector is positive, while the instability for m2 < 2Λ/3 is traceable to the helicity 0 energy. The stable, unitary, partially massless theory at m2 = 2Λ/3 describes 4 propagating degrees ...
متن کاملNon-Pauli-Fierz massive gravitons.
We study general Lorentz invariant theories of massive gravitons. We show that, contrary to the standard lore, there exist consistent theories where the graviton mass term violates Pauli-Fierz structure. For theories where the graviton is a resonance, this does not imply the existence of a scalar ghost if the deviation from a Pauli-Fierz structure becomes sufficiently small at high energies. Th...
