T.Q. Do, 2016. Higher dimensional nonlinear massive gravity. Physical Review D 93, 104003

Nonlinear massive gravity theory has been one of the hot subjects in physics as well as in cosmology. In order to explain some important physical and cosmological phenomena, we may need to generalize the nonlinear massive gravity theory from four-dimensional spacetimes to higher dimensional ones. However, most of previous papers on this theory have focused only on four-dimensional spacetimes. Calculations in this awarded paper did show that it is possible to have a five- or higher dimensional version of the nonlinear massive gravity.
