We review the black hole solutions of the ghost-free massive gravity theory and its bimetric extension and outline the main results on the stability of these solutions against small perturbations. Massive (bi)-gravity accommodates exact black hole solutions, analogous to those of General Relativity. In addition to these solutions, hairy black holes -- solutions with no correspondent in General Relativity -- have been found numerically, whose existence is a natural consequence of the absence of Birkhoff's theorem in these theories. The existence of extra propagating degrees of freedom, makes the stability properties of these black holes richer and more complex than those of General Relativity. In particular, the bi-Schwarzschild black hole exhibits an unstable spherically symmetric mode, while the bi-Kerr geometry is also generically unstable, both against the spherical mode and against superradiant instabilities. If astrophysical black holes are described by these solutions, the superradiant instability of the Kerr solution imposes stringent bounds on the graviton mass.

  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. Perturbations of black holes in mass-varying massive gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In mass-varying massive gravity, the beta=alpha^2 branch of constant-scalar Schwarzschild-(A)dS solutions has delta X=0, so tensor perturbations obey the GR equations while scalar stability depends on potential parameters.

  3. Do Pulsar Timing Datasets Favor Massive Gravity?

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A one-parameter massive-gravity correlation curve gives lower chi-square than the Hellings-Downs curve for current pulsar-timing data, but the parameter is fitted to the data, so the result is not a prediction.

  4. Spinning and Spinning Deviation Equations of Bi-metric Type Theories

    gr-qc 2019-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The author derives Papapetrou-like spinning equations for Rosen, Moffat, BIMOND, bigravity, and Verozub bimetric gravity, but the derivations are circular and contain index inconsistencies.
