Graviton and scalar propagations on AdS(4) space in f(R) gravities

Abstract

We investigate propagations of graviton and additional scalar on four-dimensional anti de Sitter (AdS${}_4$) space using $f(R)$ gravity models with external sources. It is shown that there is the van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov (vDVZ) discontinuity in $f(R)$ gravity models because $f(R)$ gravity implies GR with additional scalar. This indicates a difference between general relativity and $f(R)$ gravity clearly.
