Lorentz violating massive gravity

[edit]

Hello, I noticed that the page doesn't mention Lorentz violating massive gravity. I think it would be interesting to have a section about it. Yet, it is a relatively wide subject, so comments and contributions would be welcome. Thank you-Cosmichaloe (talk) 10:55, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May be unclear

[edit]

The article says " gravitational waves obey a massive wave equation ". This is unclear upon first reading. It sounds like it is a massive "wave equation", but isn't it actually a wave equation for massive particles? As it is written, "massive" is an adjective of "equation".

While I'm glad that someone decided to share the lit review from their PHD thesis, this article is vastly too technical for an encyclopedia entry

Suggested addition of the work of Gambuti and Maggiore

[edit]

This work by Gambuti and Maggiore https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.10813 makes what I believe is an important contribution to the subject. (BTW I am a layperson, a mechanical engineer). The work presents a linearized massive gravity theory that is free of the vDVZ discontinuity of the classical Fierz-Pauli linearized theory (which founded the subject). Without the Gambuti and Maggiore (GM) work, one might believe that it is necessary to introduce non-linearity to resolve the vDVZ discontinuity Love equation (talk) 06:23, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
