We give a simple derivation of a cosmological bound on the graviton mass for spatially flat FRW solutions in massive gravity with an FRW reference metric and for bigravity theories. This bound comes…

Inspired by the chromo-natural inflation model of Adshead&Wyman, we reshape its scalar content to relax the tension with current observational bounds. Besides an inflaton, the setup includes a…

Inflation models make specific predictions for a tensor-scalar-scalar three-point correlation, or bispectrum, between one gravitational-wave (tensor) mode and two density- perturbation (scalar)…
Large non-Gaussianities in the Effective Field Theory Approach to Single-Field Inflation: the Bispectrum

Cosmological perturbations in massive gravity and the Higuchi bound
- M. Fasiello, A. Tolley
- Physics
- 18 June 2012
In de Sitter spacetime there exists an absolute minimum for the mass of a spin-2 field set by the Higuchi bound m2 ? 2H2. We generalize this bound to arbitrary spatially flat FRW geometries in the…
