Cosmic expansion histories in massive bigravity with symmetric matter coupling

J Enander, AR Solomon, Y Akrami… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the cosmic expansion history of massive bigravity with a viable matter coupling
which treats both metrics on equal footing. We derive the Friedmann equation for the …

Vielbein to the rescue? Breaking the symmetric vielbein condition in massive gravity and multigravity

C de Rham, AJ Tolley - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
Nonminimal matter couplings have recently been considered in the context of massive
gravity and multigravity. These couplings are free of the Boulware-Deser ghost in the …

Spontaneously broken 3d Hietarinta/Maxwell Chern–Simons theory and minimal massive gravity

D Chernyavsky, NS Deger, D Sorokin - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
We show that minimal massive 3 d gravity (MMG) of (Bergshoeff et al. in Class Quantum
Grav 31: 145008, 2014), as well as the topological massive gravity, are particular cases of a …

New kinetic terms for massive gravity and multi-gravity: a no-go in vielbein form

C De Rham, A Matas, AJ Tolley - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We reconsider the possibility of a class of new kinetic terms in the first order (vielbein)
formulation of massive gravity and multi-gravity. We find that new degrees of freedom …

Exotic massive 3D gravities from truncation

HR Afshar, NS Deger - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
We introduce a systematic way of constructing 3D exotic massive gravity theories in the first
order formulation. Our method is based on truncating a single degree of freedom in the …

Cycles of interactions in multi-gravity theories

JHC Scargill, J Noller, PG Ferreira - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we study multi-gravity (multi-metric and multi-vielbein) theories in the
presence of cycles of interactions (cycles in the so-called 'theory graph'). It has been …

On asymptotic charges in 3D gravity

EA Bergshoeff, W Merbis… - Classical and Quantum …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
A variant of the ADT method for the determination of gravitational charges as integrals at
infinity is applied to'Chern–Simons-like'theories of 3D gravity, and the result is used to find …

Einstein gravity, massive gravity, multi-gravity and nonlinear realizations

G Goon, K Hinterbichler, A Joyce… - Journal of High Energy …, 2015 - Springer
A bstract The existence of a ghost free theory of massive gravity begs for an interpre-tation
as a Higgs phase of General Relativity. We revisit the study of massive gravity as a Higgs …

D Grumiller, P Hacker, W Merbis - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We reconsider warped black hole solutions in topologically massive gravity and
find novel boundary conditions that allow for soft hairy excitations on the horizon. To …
