Massive dual gravity in \(N\) spacetime dimensions. (English) Zbl 1423.83045

Summary: We describe a field theory for “massive dual gravity” in \(N\) spacetime dimensions. We obtain a Lagrangian that gives the lowest order coupling of the field to the \(N\)-dimensional curl of its own energy-momentum tensor. We then briefly discuss classical solutions. Finally, we show the theory is the exact dual of the Ogievetsky-Polubarinov model generalized to any \(N\).
