Geometrical effective actions for a partially massless spin-2 field

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-04-06 v4

Abstract

We consider nonlinear effective actions for a spin-2 field, whose `decoupling' limit gives Fierz-Pauli action in D dimensional maximally symmetric spacetime. We find, especially, the effective action for a partially massless field can take a concise geometrical form. The exact solution for time evolution of the background metric in the model using the effective action is also studied.
