Gravity and Nonlinear Symmetry Realisation

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

Application of nonlinear symmetry realisation technique to gravity is studied. We identify the simplest extensions of the Poincare group suitable for nonlinear realisation. Among them only one model is suitable for description of massless spin-2 states. This model, unlike general relativity, describes states with well-defined mass that lack a linear interaction with the matter states. We argue that this phenomenon points on a necessity to draw a distinction between gravitational states with well defined masses and states that participate in interaction with matter.
