Abstract

We consider the properties of solutions in the bigravity theory for general models, which are parametrized by two parameters α3\alpha_{3} and α4\alpha_{4}. Assuming that two metric tensors gμνg_{\mu \nu} and fμνf_{\mu \nu} satisfy the condition fμν=C2gμνf_{\mu \nu}=C^{2}g_{\mu \nu} where CC is a constant, we investigate the conditions for the parameters so that the solutions with C1C\neq1 could exist. We also discuss the magnitude and the sign of corresponding cosmological constants. For the black hole solution, we consider the black hole entropy to which the massive spin-22 field contributes. In order to obtain the black hole entropy, we take an approach which uses the Virasoro algebra and the central charge corresponding to the surface term in the action.
