General Ether Theory and Graviton Mass

Abstract

We introduce additional restriction into "general ether theory" - a generalization of Lorentz ether theory to gravity - which fixes the signs of the cosmological constants in this theory. This leads to an oscillating universe, thus, solves the cosmological horizon problem without inflation. We prove the equivalence of the Lagrangian of this theory with Logunov's "relativistic theory of gravity" with massive graviton and a variant of GR with four non-standard scalar fields and negative cosmological constant. We consider the remaining differences between these theories.
