Understand

Massive gravity (mGR) is a 5(=2s+1) degree of freedom, finite range extension of GR.

However, amongst other problems, it is plagued by superluminal propagation, first uncovered via a second order shock analysis.
First order mGR shock structures have also been studied, but the existence of superluminal propagation in that context was left open.
We present here a concordance of these methods, by an explicit (first order) characteristic matrix computation, which confirms mGR's superluminal propagation as well as acausality.
