Fierz–Pauli theory reloaded: from a theory of a symmetric tensor field to linearized massive gravity

Abstract Modifying gravity at large distances by means of a massive graviton may explain the observed acceleration of the Universe without Dark Energy. The standard paradigm for Massive Gravity is the Fierz–Pauli theory, which, nonetheless, displays well known flaws in its massless limit. The most s...
