Graviton mass and cosmological constant: a toy model

Published 2010-10-01, updated 2018-05-30Version 3

I consider a simple model where the graviton mass and the cosmological constant depend on a scalar field with appropriate couplings and I calculate the graviton propagator and the resulting effective potential for the scalar field in order to examine issues of stability and symmetry breaking.
