Nonlinear 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 کاملMassive Gravity
We review recent progress in massive gravity. We start by showing how different theories of massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model (DGP), cascading gravity, and ghost-free massive gravity. We then explore their theoretical and phenomenological consistency, proving the absence of Boulware-Deser ghosts and review...
متن کاملResummation of massive gravity.
We construct four-dimensional covariant nonlinear theories of massive gravity which are ghost-free in the decoupling limit to all orders. These theories resum explicitly all the nonlinear terms of an effective field theory of massive gravity. We show that away from the decoupling limit the Hamiltonian constraint is maintained at least up to and including quartic order in nonlinearities, hence e...
متن کاملPhases of massive gravity
We systematically study the most general Lorentz-violating graviton mass invariant under three-dimensional Eucledian group. We find that at general values of mass parameters the massive graviton has six propagating degrees of freedom, and some of them are ghosts or lead to rapid classical instabilities. However, there is a number of different regions in the mass parameter space where massive gr...
