Abstract

We present a detailed study of the static spherically symmetric solutions in de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) theory. Since the diffeomorphism invariance can be restored by introducing the St\"{u}ckelberg fields ϕa\phi^a, there is new invariant Iab=gμνμϕaνϕbI^{ab}=g^{\mu\nu}\partial_{\mu}\phi^a\partial_\nu\phi^b in the massive gravity, which adds to the ones usually encountered in general relativity (GR). In the unitary gauge ϕa=xμδμa\phi^a=x^\mu\delta_\mu^a, any inverse metric gμνg^{\mu\nu} that has divergence including the coordinate singularity in GR would exhibit a singularity in the invariant IabI^{ab}. Therefore, there is no conventional Schwarzschild metric if we choose unitary gauge. In this paper, we obtain a self-consistent static spherically symmetric ansatz in the nonunitary gauge. Under this ansatz, we find that there are seven solutions including the Schwarzschild solution, Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m solution and five other solutions. These solutions may possess an event horizon depending upon the physical parameters (Schwarzschild radius rsr_s, scalar charge SS and/or electric charge QQ). If these solutions possess an event horizon, we show that the singularity of IabI^{ab} is absent at the horizon. Therefore, these solutions may become candidates for black holes in dRGT.
