Self-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 کاملOn the longitudinal response function of interferometers for massive gravitational waves from a bimetric theory of gravity
Recently, some papers in the literature have shown that, from a bimetric theory of gravity, it is possible to produce massive gravitational waves which generate a longitudinal component in a particular polarization of the wave. After a review of previous works, in this paper the longitudinal response function of interferometers for this particular polarization of the wave is computed in two dif...
متن کاملA longitudinal component in massive gravitational waves arising from a bimetric theory of gravity
After a brief review of the work of de Paula, Miranda and Marinho on massive gravitational waves arising from a bimetric theory of gravity, in this paper it is shown that the presence of the mass generates a longitudinal component in a particular polarization of the wave. The effect of this polarization on test masses is performed using the geodesic deviation. A the end of this paper the detect...
متن کاملFinite - time future singularities in modified Gauss - Bonnet and F ( R , G ) gravity and singularity avoidance
We study all four types of finite-time future singularities emerging in late-time accelerating (effective quintessence/phantom) era from F(R,G)-gravity, where R and G are the Ricci scalar and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant, respectively. As an explicit example of F(R,G)-gravity, we also investigate modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity, so-called F (G)-gravity. In particular, we reconstruct the F (G)-gravi...
متن کاملSelf-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...
