The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

We report yes-go and no-go results on consistent cross-couplings for a collection of gravitons. Motivated by the search of theories where multiplets of massless spin-two fields cross-interact, we look for all the consistent deformations of a positive sum of Pauli-Fierz actions. We also investigate the problem of deforming a (positive and negative) sum of linearized Weyl gravity actions and show explicitly that there exists multi-Weyl-graviton theories. As the single-graviton Weyl theory, these theories do not have an energy bounded from below.
