Covariant constraints for generic massive gravity and analysis of its characteristics
S. Deser, M. Sandora, A. Waldron +1
We perform a covariant constraint analysis of massive gravity valid for its entire parameter space, demonstrating that the model generically propagates five degrees of freedom; thi…
OWL-MOON : Very high resolution spectro-imaging and Earth-Moon interferometry: exoplanets to cosmology
J. Schneider, J. Silk, F. Vakili +5
We address three major questions in astronomy, namely the detection of biosignatures on habitable exoplanets, the geophysics of exoplanets and cosmology. To achieve this goal, two…
No consistent bimetric gravity?
S. Deser, M. Sandora, A. Waldron
We discuss the prospects for a consistent, nonlinear, partially massless (PM), gauge symmetry of bimetric gravity (BMG). Just as for single metric massive gravity, we show that con…
Nonlinear Partially Massless from Massive Gravity?
S. Deser, M. Sandora, A. Waldron
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 i…
