  3. Non-Fierz-Pauli bimetric theory from quadratic curvature gravity on Einstein manifolds

    gr-qc 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quadratic curvature gravity on Einstein manifolds decouples into massless and non-Fierz-Pauli massive gravity sectors, enabling observational constraints on its parameters with noted tension for the Weyl term.
