Description
Summary:Massive gravity theory is one of modified gravity in the large scale by assuming non zero graviton mass. The theory with absence of vDVZ discontinuity and Boulware-Deser ghost field constructed by de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) from decoupling limit technique. Recently, another class of massive gravity has been certainly growing up called Minimal Theory of Massive Gravity (MTMG). In this thesis, MTMG redefined in arbitrary spacetime dimension by taking Hinterbichler-Rosen graviton potential and also extended to mass varying graviton by coupling scalar field following Huang-Piao-Zhou method. The Friedmann-Lemaitre equations are obtained for hyperboloid, flat, and spherical geometry of universe. Then cosmological implications are analyzed at certain critical points.
