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.
