Multi-graviton theories : yes-go and no-go results

We report yes-go and no-go results on consistent cross-couplings for a collection of gravitons. Motivated by the search of theories where multiplets of massless spin-two fields cross-interact, we look for all the consistent deformations of a positive sum of Pauli-Fierz actions. We also investigate the problem of deforming a (positive and negative) sum of linearized Weyl gravity actions and show explicitly that there exists multi-Weyl-graviton theories. As the single-graviton Weyl theory, these theories do not have an energy bounded from below.
