| Vienna Theory Lunch Club - Massive gravity |
| Speaker: | Olaf Hohm (Groningen University) |
| Abstract: | In this talk I introduce a recent proposal for a theory of massive gravity in three dimensions. First, I review the consistency problems for massive spin-2 theories in generic dimensions. Then, I explain special features in three dimensions such as the possibility of gauge invariant mass terms and, in particular, topologically massive gravity. Using these special three-dimensional features I explain how a non-linear "covariantisation" of massive gravity can be introduced in D=3 via higher-derivative couplings.
