Reply to "Acausality of Massive Charged Spin 2 Fields"
M. Novello, S. E. Perez Bergliaffa, R. P. Neves
We show that, contrary to the claim in hep-th/0304050, the propagation of a spin-2 field in an electromagnetic background is {\em causal}.

The mass of the graviton and the cosmological constant
M. Novello, R. P. Neves
We show that the graviton acquires a mass in a de Sitter background given by This is precisely the fine-tuning value required for the perturbed gravitational f…

Spin-2 field theory in curved spacetime
M. Novello, R. P. Neves
We present a new formulation to deal with the consistency problem of a massive spin-2 field in a curved spacetime. Using Fierz variables to represent the spin-2 field, we show how…
