Self-accelerating Massive Gravity: Time for Field Fluctuations
The ghost-free theory of massive gravity has exact solutions where the effective stress energy generated by the graviton mass term is a cosmological constant for any isotropic metric. Since they are exact, these solutions mimic a cosmological constant in the presence of any matter-induced isotropic metric perturbation. In the Stückelberg formulation, this stress energy is carried entirely by th...

متن کاملSelf-accelerating Massive Gravity: How Zweibeins Walk through Determinant Singularities
The theory of massive gravity possesses ambiguities when the spacetime metric evolves far from the non-dynamical fiducial metric used to define it. We explicitly construct a spherically symmetric example case where the metric evolves to a coordinate-independent determinant singularity which does not exist in the initial conditions. Both the metric and the vierbein formulation of the theory are ...
متن کاملSelf-accelerating Massive Gravity: Exact solutions for any isotropic matter distribution
We present an exact solution to the equations of massive gravity that display cosmological constant-like behavior for any spherically symmetric distribution of matter, including arbitrary time dependence. On this solution, the new degrees of freedom from the massive graviton generate a cosmological constant-like contribution to stress-energy that does not interact directly with other matter sou...
متن کاملSelf-accelerating solutions of scalar–tensor gravity
Scalar–tensor gravity is the simplest and best understood modification of general relativity, consisting of a real scalar field coupled directly to the Ricci scalar curvature. Models of this type have self-accelerating solutions. In an example inspired by string dilaton couplings, scalar–tensor gravity coupled to ordinary matter exhibits a de Sitter type expansion, even in the presence of a neg...
