Higgs for Graviton: Simple and Elegant Solution (1002.3877v2)

Published 22 Feb 2010 in hep-th and gr-qc

Abstract: A Higgs mechanism for gravity is presented, where four scalars with global Lorentz symmetry are employed. We show that in the broken symmetry phase a graviton absorbs all scalars and become massive spin 2 particle with five degrees of freedom. The resulting theory is unitary and free of ghosts.
