Stability of vacua in New Massive Gravity in different gauges

Ghodsi, Ahmad, Yekta, Davood Mahdavian

Understand

We consider AdS3 and warped AdS3 vacua in new massive gravity and study the highest weight modes and general propagating modes as a set of solutions for the linearized equations of motion.

We observed that depending on the choice of gauge there are two types of solutions.
We show that for warped AdS3 vacuum, the massless modes which appear only in the harmonic gauge have zero energy density and do not get higher curvature corrections.
By computing the energy density it can be shown that all massive modes have negative energy density.
