Universal bound on the strong coupling scale of a gravitationally coupled massive spin-2 particle

Journal Article Bonifacio, James ; Hinterbichler, Kurt - Physical Review D

We find a model-independent upper bound on the strong coupling scale for a massive spin-2 particle coupled to Einstein gravity. Our approach is to directly construct tree-level scattering amplitudes for these degrees of freedom and use them to find the maximum scale of perturbative unitarity violation. The highest scale is Λ₃ = (m²M_P)^1/3, which is saturated by ghost-free bigravity. The strong coupling scale can be further raised to M_P if the kinetic term for one particle has the wrong sign, which uniquely gives the amplitudes of quadratic curvature gravity. We also discuss the generalization to massive higher-spin particles coupled tomore » gravity.« less

Universally coupled massive gravity, III: dRGT–Maheshwari pure spin-2, Ogievetsky–Polubarinov and arbitrary mass terms

Journal Article Pitts, J. Brian, E-mail: jbp25@cam.ac.uk - Annals of Physics

Einstein’s equations were derived for a free massless spin-2 field using universal coupling in the 1950–1970s by various authors; total stress–energy including gravity’s served as a source for linear free field equations. A massive variant was likewise derived in the late 1960s by Freund, Maheshwari and Schonberg, and thought to be unique. How broad is universal coupling? In the last decade four 1-parameter families of massive spin-2 theories (contravariant, covariant, tetrad, and cotetrad of almost any density weights) have been derived using universal coupling. The (co)tetrad derivations included 2 of the 3 pure spin-2 theories due to de Rham, Gabadadze,more »« less

Ghosts, strong coupling, and accidental symmetries in massive gravity

Journal Article Deffayet, C ; GReCO/IAP, 98 bis boulevard Arago, 75014 Paris ; Rombouts, J -W - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We show that the strong self-interaction of the scalar polarization of a massive graviton can be understood in terms of the propagation of an extra ghostlike degree of freedom, thus relating strong coupling to the sixth degree of freedom discussed by Boulware and Deser in their Hamiltonian analysis of massive gravity. This enables one to understand the Vainshtein recovery of solutions of massless gravity as being due to the effect of the exchange of this ghost, which gets frozen at distances larger than the Vainshtein radius. Inside this region, we can trust the two-field Lagrangian perturbatively, while at larger distancesmore »« less
