Translation invariant time-dependent massive gravity: Hamiltonian analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The canonical structure of the massive gravity in the first order moving frame formalism is studied. We work in the simplified context of translation invariant fields, with mass terms given by general non-derivative interactions, invariant under the diagonal Lorentz group, depending on the moving frame as well as a fixed reference frame. We prove that the only mass terms which give 5 propagating degrees of freedom are the dRGT mass terms, namely those which are linear in the lapse. We also complete the Hamiltonian analysis with the dynamical evolution of the system.

Zwei-dreibein gravity: a two-frame-field model of 3D massive gravity.
We present a generally covariant and parity-invariant two-frame field ("zwei-dreibein") action for gravity in three space-time dimensions that propagates two massive spin-2 modes, unitarily, and we use Hamiltonian methods to confirm the absence of unphysical degrees of freedom. We show how zwei-dreibein gravity unifies previous "3D massive gravity" models and extends them, in the context of the...
متن کاملA relativistic quantum theory of gravity
A relativistic quantum theory of gravity is proposed in which the gravitational interaction between particles is represented by distanceand velocity-dependent potentials. The Poincaré invariance, the cluster separability, and the causality of this approach are established. The Hamiltonian for interacting massive particles and photons is formulated within the c−2 approximation. The classical lim...
متن کاملTopological mass in seven dimensions and dualities in four dimensions
The massive topologically and self dual theories en seven dimensions are considered. The local duality between these theories is established and the dimensional reduction lead to the different dualities for massive antisymmetric fields in four dimensions. The topological Chern Simons terms have played an important role in several physical models. For instance, they appear in the eleven dimensio...
متن کاملTranslation invariant mappings on KPC-hypergroups
In this paper, we give an extension of the Wendel's theorem on KPC-hypergroups. We also show that every translation invariant mapping is corresponding with a unique positive measure on the KPC-hypergroup.
متن کاملIs Barbero’s Hamiltonian formulation a Gauge Theory of Lorentzian Gravity?
This letter is a critique of Barbero’s constrained Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity on which current work in Loop Quantum Gravity is based. We show that if one tries to interpret Barbero’s real SO(3) connection as a space–time gauge field, the theory is not diffeomorphism invariant. In this respect, Barbero’s connection is quite different from Ashtekar’s, which does admit a space–t...
