Description
Bigravity is a consistent framework of massive gravity with interesting implications for cosmology. In this talk, I will discuss several aspects of a bi-metric theory of gravity such as the cosmic evolution, galaxy rotation curves, as well as the cosmological constant problem. Finally, the phenomenon of gravitational wave oscillations is considered as a unique way to probe the parameter space of the model using gravitational wave detectors.
