Description

A possible nonlinear completion of massive gravity of the Fierz-Pauli type is proposed. The theory describes a system consisting of a massive tensor field of the Fierz-Pauli type and an additional massive vector field. Massless limit as well as flat-spacetime limit can be taken smoothly. Constructing a nonlinear version of the physical-state condition which drives an extra scalar ghost from physical states is still unsettled.
