Exact Solutions in 3D New Massive Gravity

Journal Article Ahmedov, Haji ; Aliev, Alikram N - Physical Review Letters

We show that the field equations of new massive gravity (NMG) consist of a massive (tensorial) Klein-Gordon-type equation with a curvature-squared source term and a constraint equation. We also show that, for algebraic type D and N spacetimes, the field equations of topologically massive gravity (TMG) can be thought of as the 'square root' of the massive Klein-Gordon-type equation. Using this fact, we establish a simple framework for mapping all types D and N solutions of TMG into NMG. Finally, we present new examples of types D and N solutions to NMG.

Stability of the self-accelerating universe in massive gravity

Journal Article Khosravi, Nima ; Niz, Gustavo ; Koyama, Kazuya ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study linear perturbations around time dependent spherically symmetric solutions in the Λ{sub 3} massive gravity theory, which self-accelerate in the vacuum. We find that the dynamics of the scalar perturbations depend on the choice of the fiducial metric for the background solutions. For particular choice of fiducial metric there is a symmetry enhancement, leaving no propagating scalar degrees of freedom at linear order in perturbations. In contrast, any other choice propagates a single scalar mode. We find that the Hamiltonian of this scalar mode is unbounded from below for all self-accelerating solutions, signalling an instability.

Open FRW universes and self-acceleration from nonlinear massive gravity

Journal Article Gümrükçüoğlu, A. Emir ; Lin, Chunshan ; Mukohyama, Shinji - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

In the context of a recently proposed nonlinear massive gravity with Lorentz-invariant mass terms, we investigate open Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universes driven by arbitrary matter source. While the flat FRW solutions were recently shown to be absent, the proof does not extend to the open universes. We find three independent branches of solutions to the equations of motion for the Stückelberg scalars. One of the branches does not allow any nontrivial FRW cosmologies, as in the previous no-go result. On the other hand, both of the other two branches allow general open FRW universes governed by the Friedmann equation with themore »« less

Cosmological perturbations of self-accelerating universe in nonlinear massive gravity

Journal Article Gümrükçüoğlu, A. Emir ; Lin, Chunshan ; Mukohyama, Shinji - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study cosmological perturbations of self-accelerating universe solutions in the recently proposed nonlinear theory of massive gravity, with general matter content. While the broken diffeomorphism invariance implies that there generically are 2 tensor, 2 vector and 2 scalar degrees of freedom in the gravity sector, we find that the scalar and vector degrees have vanishing kinetic terms and nonzero mass terms. Depending on their nonlinear behavior, this indicates either nondynamical nature of these degrees or strong couplings. Assuming the former, we integrate out the 2 vector and 2 scalar degrees of freedom. We then find that in the scalar andmore »« less
