Gravitational Higgs Mechanism: The Role of Determinantal Invariants
arXiv:0908.3367 · doi:10.1007/s10714-012-1414-8
Abstract
The Higgs mechanism for gravity, as proposed by 't Hooft in arXiv:0708.3184 [hep-th], can be augmented by including determinantal invariants. We analyze the effects of determinantal invariants in such a set up. We find that the part of the potential that depends on the determinantal invariants, if obtains a specific exponential form in terms of its argument, may not affect the graviton mass calculated.
