Appearance of Boulware-Deser ghost in bigravity with doubly coupled matter
read the original abstract
We discuss the ghost freeness in the case when we add matter coupled to two metrics to the ghost-free bigravity. In this paper we show that the Boulware-Deser ghost generally revives in the presence of doubly coupled matter and that ghost freeness strongly restricts the model of kinetically doubly coupled matter. This result may anticipate difficulties in the attempt to derive the ghost-free bigravity as a low-energy effective theory, starting with a model applicable at high energies.

Gravitational wave propagation in bigravity in the late universe
Exact solutions and uniform approximations for GW modes in bigravity in de Sitter yield regime-dependent luminosity distances, a new bound from GW170817, and retained coherence between massless and massive signal components.
