Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical Aspects of Massive Gravity
TL;DR: Recently, the possibility of a massive graviton has seen a resurgence of interest due to recent progress which has overcome its traditional problems, yielding an avenue for addressing important open questions such as the cosmological constant naturalness problem as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening long-range forces through local symmetry restoration.
Kurt Hinterbichler,Justin Khoury +1 more
TL;DR: A screening mechanism that allows a scalar field to mediate a long-range force of gravitational strength in the cosmos while satisfying local tests of gravity and predicting deviations from general relativity in the solar system that are within reach of next-generation experiments, as well as astrophysically observable violations of the equivalence principle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifield Galileons and higher codimension branes
TL;DR: In this paper, the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model reduces to the theory of a scalar field with interactions including a specific cubic self-interaction, the Galileon term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speed of gravitational waves and the fate of scalar-tensor gravity
Dario Bettoni,Jose María Ezquiaga,Kurt Hinterbichler,Miguel Zumalacárregui,Miguel Zumalacárregui +4 more
TL;DR: The direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) is an invaluable new tool to probe gravity and the nature of cosmic acceleration as mentioned in this paper, and a large class of scalar-tensor theories predicts that GWs propaga...
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for and obstructions to nonlinear partially massless gravity
TL;DR: In this article, the existence of nonlinear partially massless (PM) gravity was investigated and it was shown that, despite strong supporting evidence for PM theory of gravity, technical obstructions arise which preclude its formulation using the standard massive gravity framework.
