abstract
We review recent progress in massive gravity. We start by showing how different theories of massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model, cascading gravity and ghost-free massive gravity. We then explore their theoretical and phenomenological consistency, proving the absence of Boulware-Deser ghosts and reviewing the Vainshtein mechanism and the cosmological solutions in these models. Finally we present alternative and related models of massive gravity such as new massive gravity, Lorentz-violating massive gravity and non-local massive gravity.

Bimetric interactions are defined via a congruence matrix, with the square root shown as the unique power series solution and algebraic equivalence to the unconstrained vielbein formulation.
Ghostly quantum systems can have discrete non-dense energy spectra under classical stability conditions, providing counterexamples to spectral denseness.
Tree-level graviton exchange yields Newtonian potentials plus spin-dependent corrections at O(G) for massive spin-2 scattering off scalars, vectors, and fermions, plus the leading spin-independent O(G^2) term for spin-2 plus scalar.
Dark energy perturbations induce a scale-dependent effective matter-gravity coupling that can become locally negative, potentially explaining low-redshift structure suppression for phantom models.
Applies parameterized dispersion to eccentric BBH burst waveforms, deriving a 2.5PN time-delay correction and Bessel amplitude modulation, then uses Fisher matrix to project LIGO constraints that are stronger than current bounds for Hořava-Lifschitz and extra-dimension models.
A first-order strongly hyperbolic formulation is derived for minimal dRGT massive gravity around Minkowski, with spin-2 graviton characteristics set by the inverse metric.
A CNN framework using response functions from gravitational wave mismatches classifies signals as GR or beyond-GR with 33 times better sensitivity than raw waveforms and detects massive gravity deviations at graviton masses around 10^{-23} eV/c².
In Einstein-Born-Infeld massive gravity, the entanglement wedge cross-section detects effective metal-insulator and Hawking-Page transitions more sensitively than other measures and reveals a universal critical exponent of 1/3 near second-order points.
Charged AdS black holes in dRGT massive gravity with exponential NED exhibit van der Waals-like first-order, second-order critical, and reentrant phase transitions between small and large black holes at fixed Lambda.
A review thesis covering Mukhanov parametrization, general scalar-tensor theories, and new slow-roll techniques for canonical and noncanonical inflation observables.
A review summarizing modified theories of gravity, their effects on compact objects, existing bounds from astrophysical observations, and the promise of future gravitational wave tests for strong-field gravity.
Experiments confirm general relativity to high precision in weak-field and strong-field regimes, with gravitational wave damping matching predictions to better than 0.5 percent.
