Description

Massive gravity can dynamically and transparently provide of the acceleration of the of the universe, where the mass of the graviton sets the energy scale of dark enregy. We find the parameter space of massive graivty which easily accomodates the observed acceleration of the Universe by SNa, and BAO with the most recent Planck data. The same parameter space also makes unique predictions for weak lensing signals for voids and halos for up coming Telescopes such as Euclid and LSST.
