Given the success of constructing quantum field theories for vector spin-1 theories numerous attempts have been made to do the same for theories involving spin-2 theories. The most successful of these attempts is String theory which, gives a consistent frame work to create a Hilbert space that includes a mssless spin-2. However, there are other issues to be addressed involving spin-2 theories it has been shown that there exists a unique way to couple a massive spin-2 to a gravity theory (massless spin-2) which is known as Bimetric gravity. Therefore, the natural question to ask is whether or not this theory comes from a string theory construct i.e. can one find a massive spin-2 state in string theory whose low energy limit coupled to massless case gives the Bimetric gravity? In the following, we will discuss our attempt to find such a state and the subtleties involving the construction of effective action.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
