Massive Cosmology and Quantum Consistency

 

Recently there has been a successful non-linear covariant ghost-free generalization of Fierz-Pauli massive gravity theory, the dRGT theory. I will explore the cosmology in the decoupling limit of this theory. Furthermore, I will quickly discuss a Proxy to dRGT and study the cosmology there as well and compare the results. Furthermore I will comment on the effects coming from quantum loops and the consequences for the reliability of the theory.
