Note About Hamiltonian Formalism for General Non-Linear Massive Gravity Action in Stuckelberg Formalism
read the original abstract
In this note we try to prove the absence of the ghosts in case of the general non-linear massive gravity action in Stuckelberg formalism. We argue that in order to find the explicit form of the Hamiltonian it is natural to start with the general non-linear massive gravity action found in arXiv:1106.3344 [hep-th]. We perform the complete Hamiltonian analysis of the Stuckelberg form of the minimal the non-linear gravity action in this formulation and show that the constraint structure is so rich that it is possible to eliminate non-physical modes. Then we extend this analysis to the case of the general non-linear massive gravity action. We find the corresponding Hamiltonian and collection of the primary constraints. Unfortunately we are not able to finish the complete analysis of the stability of all constraints due to the complex form of one primary constraint so that we are not able to determine the conditions under which given constraint is preserved during the time evolution of the system.
