In this paper we present a very simple and independent argument for the absence of the Boulware-Deser ghost in the recently proposed potentially ghost-free non-linear massive gravity. The limitation is that, in its simple form, the argument is, in a sense, non-constructive and less explicit than the standard approach. However, the formalism developed here may prove to be useful for discussing the formal aspects of the theory.

  1. A new look at multi-gravity and dimensional deconstruction

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Keeping the lapse free in deconstruction yields scalar-tensor multi-gravity, which reproduces 5D Randall-Sundrum brane cosmology equations in the continuum limit.

  2. Non-primary square roots in massive gravity

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Non-primary square roots in massive gravity theories are generally covariant, but lack analytic perturbation theory in the elementary symmetric polynomials of the Lagrangian.

  3. Massive Gravity @ 15

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted

    A status review arguing that ghost-free massive gravity remains a theoretically consistent and phenomenologically viable infrared modification of General Relativity, with open UV questions.
