Invited Gravitation and Gravitational Waves Saturday AM

Speaker

Prof. Fawad Hassan (Stockholm University)

Description

I will motivate the study of theories of gravity in the presence of extra spin-2 fields and will then describe a ghost free bimetric theory of gravity, some of its physical implications, and the current status of the theory. In particular, I will focus on the notions of space and time in the theory in the presence of two metric fields.
