2 Theories with massive gravitons Deformations of GR that explain the observed universe acceleration, m 1/(cosm. horizon size). Problems: do not reduce to GR in the weak field when m 0 (VdVZ discontinuity), have a ghost, no uniqueness. Remedies exist for the VdVZ problem Vainstein mechanism. Very recently a class of ghost-free models has been discovered. We wish to study cosmologies in these models. Ghost-free bigravity theories and their cosmological solutions p. 2

22 Properties of the solutions g-metric is FLRW with open, closed or flat sections. Matter-dominated at early times, Λ-dominated at late time self-acceleration. Without matter de Sitter or static Schwarzschild-de Sitter /Isham,Story 78/ f-metric is AdS. When η 0, Λ f sin 2 η 0 f µν is flat, massive gravity is recovered. In the massive gravity limit this gives the complete FLRW solution. In the literature is called inhomogeneous, since the fluctuations are expected to be non-flrw, although this effect should be suppressed by smallness of m.
