Beyond the cosmological standard model

A Joyce, B Jain, J Khoury, M Trodden - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

[HTML][HTML] Massive gravity

C de Rham - Living reviews in relativity, 2014 - Springer
We review recent progress in massive gravity. We start by showing how different theories of
massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the …

Graviton mass bounds

C de Rham, JT Deskins, AJ Tolley, SY Zhou - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
Recently, aLIGO announced the first direct detections of gravitational waves, a direct
manifestation of the propagating degrees of freedom of gravity. The detected signals …

Constraints on a gravitational Higgs mechanism

J Bonifacio, K Hinterbichler, RA Rosen - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We show that it is impossible to improve the high-energy behavior of the tree-level four-point
amplitude of a massive spin-2 particle by including the exchange of any number of scalars …

On the (A) dS decoupling limits of massive gravity

C De Rham, K Hinterbichler, LA Johnson - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We consider various decoupling limits of ghost-free massive gravity on (A) dS. The
first is a decoupling limit on AdS space where the mass goes to zero while the AdS radius is …

Cosmological investigations of (extended) nonlinear massive gravity schemes with nonminimal coupling

K Bamba, MW Hossain, R Myrzakulov, S Nojiri, M Sami - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
In this paper we investigate the case of nonminimal coupling in the (extended) nonlinear
massive gravity theories. We first consider massive gravity in the Brans-Dicke background …

Cosmology of nonlinear massive gravity

YF Cai, EN Saridakis - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
The theory of nonlinear massive gravity can be extended into the F (R) form as developed by
Cai et al.[Phys. Rev. D 90, 064051 (2014)]. Being free of the Boulware-Deser ghost, such a …

Potential for general relativity and its geometry

G Gabadadze, K Hinterbichler, D Pirtskhalava… - Physical Review D …, 2013 - APS
The unique ghost-free mass and nonlinear potential terms for general relativity are
presented in a diffeomorphism and local Lorentz invariant vierbein formalism. This …

Cosmological aspects of cubic Galileon massive gravity

SM Aslmarand, AR Akbarieh, Y Izadi, S Kazempour… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Cubic Galileon massive gravity is a development of de Rham–Gabadadze-Tolley massive
gravity theory in which the space of the Stueckelberg field is broken. We consider the cubic …

nonlinear massive theories of gravity and their cosmological implications

YF Cai, F Duplessis, EN Saridakis - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We propose a nonlinear massive gravitational theory which includes F (R) modifications.
This construction inherits the benefits of the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley model and is free …
