abstract

Bimetric gravity is a ghost-free and observationally viable extension of general relativity, exhibiting both a massless and a massive graviton. The observed abundances of light elements can be used to constrain the expansion history of the Universe at the period of Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Applied to bimetric gravity, we readily obtain constraints on the theory parameters which are complementary to other observational probes. For example, the mixing angle between the two gravitons must satisfy $\theta \lesssim 18^\circ$ in the graviton mass range $m_\mathrm{FP} \gtrsim 10^{-16} \, \mathrm{eV}/c^2$, representing a factor of two improvement compared with other cosmological probes.

  1. 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.

  2. Extended Effective Field Theory of Dark Energy: Ghost Condensate Dark Energy with Sextic Dispersion Relation in de Sitter Spacetime

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A sextic ghost condensate dark energy model is shown to produce a matter-density-dependent correction to the Newtonian potential and a frequency-dependent gravitational wave speed in de Sitter spacetime.
