abstract
A theory with the action combining the Einstein--Hilbert term and graviton mass terms violating Lorentz invariance is considered at linearized level about Minkowskian background. It is shown that with one of the masses set equal to zero, the theory has the following properties: (i) there is a gap of order $m$ in the spectrum, where $m$ is the graviton mass scale; (ii) the dispersion relations at ${\bf p}^2 \gg m^2$ are $\omega^2 \propto {\bf p}^2$, the spectrum of tensor modes being relativistic, while other modes having unconventional maximum velocity; (iii) the VDVZ discontinuity is absent; (iv) the strong coupling scale is $(mM_{Pl})^{1/2}$. The latter two properties are in sharp contrast to the Lorentz-invariant gravity with the Pauli--Fierz mass term.

New Energy-Loss Constraints on Dark Sectors from Deeply Inelastic Scattering with Initial State Radiation
A factorization-based method is outlined to derive energy-loss constraints on dark sector particles (spin 0 to 2) from ISR-modified lepton distributions in DIS, illustrated for MeV-GeV spin-0 cases at the EIC.

Stable Cosmology from Minimal Theory of Mass-Varying Massive Gravity
MTMVMG is claimed to admit stable FLRW perturbations, with the mass-varying scalar as dark energy or inflaton, but stability inequalities are unverified and the phenomenology is fitted.

Massive graviton dark matter searches with long-baseline atom interferometers
Long-baseline atom interferometers could detect ultra-light spin-2 dark matter through three coupling channels, reaching mass and coupling ranges that LIGO and LISA cannot cover.
