Growth Histories in Bimetric Massive Gravity - 1 views

Tessa Baker on 22 Jun 12Massive Gravity is this year's must-have theory of modified gravity. The concept is simple - what if the graviton had a (very small) mass? However, building a consistent and viable theory from this idea has proved very difficult. It has now been achieved for the background-level cosmology, and can fit the accelerated expansion (with the usual fine-tuning problems, of course!) This paper takes the first steps towards the perturbation theory that needs to be developed if we are to test Massive Gravity with measurements of structure growth, etc.
