On the consistency of multigravity theories

Högås, Marcus January 2016 (has links)
In this thesis a set of recently proposed multigravity theories is analysed. In the special case of bimetric gravity, the theory has been conclusively shown to be ghost-free. On the other hand, for multigravity theories in general, the ghost-issue has not been settled conclusively. Motivated by this fact, the main object of this thesis is to clarify what has been proven so far and what issues that still needs to be addressed. We also provide new calculations and results pointing in the direction that the multigravity theories must be restricted to a set of bimetric Hassan-Rosen couplings in a tree-type structure in order to be consistent. In particular, we prove that for a multivielbein theory of <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?%5Cmathscr%7BN%7D" /> interacting vielbeins, the Lorentz equations of motion is a set of <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?(%5Cmathscr%7BN%7D-1)" /> Deser-van Nieuwenhuizen conditions if and only if the theory consists of bimetric Hassan-Rosen couplings in a tree-type structure.
