1. Unravelling Consistent Spin-2 Interactions
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

2. Constraints and symmetries in theories of interacting spin-2 fields
Abstract : The Hassan-Rosen bimetric theory describes two interacting spin-2 fields, one massless and one massive. In this thesis, a complete canonical analysis of this theory is performed in the metric formulation and all constraints are computed. READ MORE

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

4. Beyond Bimetric Theory: Consistent Theories of Multiple Spin-2 Fields
Abstract : The mathematical formulations of the fundamental interactions in nature are all expressed in terms of fields classified by their mass and spin. Two of the most successful theories in physics, general relativity and the standard model, can both, in principle, be derived uniquely from fields with fixed mass and spin, guided by theoretical considerations such as consistency.

5. Theoretical and numerical bimetric relativity
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.
