The authors' main claim We show that all solutions inside the Vainshtein radius are problematic : the scalar mode in massive graviton suffers from gradient instabilities, the vector mode are infinitely strongly coupled vector perturbations, or the Vainshtein mechanism is absent.

It has been shown that the spherically symmetric solutions in a subclass of quasidilaton theory are stable against all degrees of freedom and does not even exhibit superluminal propagation. These solutions can be found by switching off scalar-tensor interactions, which can not be removed by a local transformation. In this paper, we extend the analysis to quasidilaton theory, including non-diagonalizable scalar-tensor interactions. We show that all solutions inside the Vainshtein radius are problematic : the scalar mode in massive graviton suffers from gradient instabilities, the vector mode are infinitely strongly coupled vector perturbations, or the Vainshtein mechanism is absent.

The paper
Original abstract
It has been shown that the spherically symmetric solutions in a subclass of quasidilaton theory are stable against all degrees of freedom and does not even exhibit superluminal propagation. These solutions can be found by switching off scalar-tensor interactions, which can not be removed by a local transformation. In this paper, we extend the analysis to quasidilaton theory, including non-diagonalizable scalar-tensor interactions. We show that all solutions inside the Vainshtein radius are problematic : the scalar mode in massive graviton suffers from gradient instabilities, the vector mode are infinitely strongly coupled vector perturbations, or the Vainshtein mechanism is absent.

Following to the method in [ref] , one can find that the radial and angular sound speeds are related to the kinetic coefficient $A$ at the leading order inside the Vainshtein radius, [equation] Since $ω>0$, one cannot eliminate the leading order of $c_r^2$ by any combination of the parameters.

Such a mechanism can be seen in ghost-free massive gravity called de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity [ref] , whose mass term consists of an infinite number of potentials to eliminate the Boulware-Deser (BD) ghost [ref] (for the proof of the absence of BD ghost in full theory, see [ref] ).
