Effective Lagrangians and Universality Classes of Nonlinear Bigravity
read the original abstract
We discuss the fully non-linear formulation of multigravity. The concept of universality classes of effective Lagrangians describing bigravity, which is the simplest form of multigravity, is introduced. We show that non-linear multigravity theories can naturally arise in several different physical contexts: brane configurations, certain Kaluza-Klein reductions and some non-commutative geometry models. The formal and phenomenological aspects of multigravity (including the problems linked to the linearized theory of massive gravitons) are briefly discussed.

Bimetric interactions based on metric congruences
Bimetric interactions are defined via a congruence matrix, with the square root shown as the unique power series solution and algebraic equivalence to the unconstrained vielbein formulation.
