Cosmological perturbations in Gauss-Bonnet quasi-dilaton massive gravity (2105.03744v2)
Published 8 May 2021 in gr-qc and hep-th
Abstract: We present the cosmological analysis of the Gauss-Bonnet quasi-dilaton massive gravity theory. This offers a gravitational theory with a non-zero graviton mass. We calculate the complete set of background equations of motion. Also, we obtain the self-accelerating background solutions and we present the constraints on parameters to indicate the correct sign of parameters. In addition, we analyse tensor perturbations and calculate the mass of graviton and find the dispersion relation of gravitational waves for two cases. Finally, we investigate the propagation of gravitational perturbation in the FLRW cosmology in the Gauss-Bonnet quasi-dilaton massive gravity.
