  2. 1. Unravelling Consistent Spin-2 Interactions

    Author : Mikael von Strauss; Sayed Fawad Hassan; Mikhail Volkov; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Modified Gravity; Massive Spin-2; Spin-2 Interactions; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : Recently, a unique formulation of a classically consistent theory of massive spin-2 fields has emerged. In this thesis I address a few of the primary questions that arise once such a theory is available. READ MORE

  4. 2. Classically Consistent Theories of Interacting Spin-2 Fields

    Author : Angnis Margreta Schmidt-May; Fawad Hassan; Cedric Deffayet; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis comprises a study of recently developed nonlinear theories for massive spin-2 fields that go by the names of Massive Gravity and Bimetric Theory. As we demonstrate in a Hamiltonian analysis, the construction of these theories avoids the notorious Boulware-Deser ghost instability that generically plagues nonlinear spin-2 interactions and renders their description inconsistent.

  5. 3. Geometry of interactions in ghost-free bimetric theory

    Author : Mikica Kocic; Sayed Fawad Hassan; Tomi Koivisto; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Modified gravity; Interacting spin-2 fields; Bimetric theory; Massive gravity; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : The ghost-free bimetric theory is an extension to general relativity where two metric tensors are used instead of one. A priori, the two metrics may not have compatible notions of space and time, which makes the formulation of the initial-value problem problematic. READ MORE

  6. 4. Theoretical and numerical bimetric relativity

    Author : Francesco Torsello; Edvard Mörtsell; Eugeny Babichev; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spin-2 fields; extension of general relativity; ghost-free bimetric theory; Hassan–Rosen bimetric relativity; numerical relativity; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : General relativity (GR) is the standard physical theory describing gravitational interactions. All astrophysical and cosmological observations are compatible with its predictions, provided that unknown matter and energy components are included. These are called dark matter and dark energy.
