Nonlinear 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 کاملMassive Particles from Massless Spinors
Spinors are lightlike. How do they combine to make massive particles? We visit the zoo of Lagrangian singularities, or caustics, in spacetime projections from spin spacethe phase space of lightlike, 8spinor flows. We find that the species living there are the elementary particles. Codimension J = (1, 2, 3, 4) phase singularities vortex lines, sheets, tubes, and knots, are classified by the Coxe...
متن کاملMassless and Massive Vector Goldstone Bosons in Nonlinear Quantum Electrodynamics
The spontaneous Lorentz invariance violation (SLIV) developing in QED type theories with the nonlinear four-vector field constraint A μ = M (where M is a proposed scale of the Lorentz violation) is considered in the case when the internal U(1) charge symmetry is also spontaneously broken. We show that such a SLIV pattern induces the genuine vector Goldstone boson which appears massless when the...
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 کاملMatter coupling in partially constrained vielbein formulation of massive gravity
We consider a linear effective vielbein matter coupling without introducing the Boulware-Deser ghost in ghost-free massive gravity. This is achieved in the partially constrained vielbein formulation. We first introduce the formalism and prove the absence of ghost at all scales. As next we investigate the cosmological application of this coupling in this new formulation. We show that even if the...
