Abstract

We perform the Hamiltonian analysis of the specific model of the nonlinear massive gravity in Stückelberg formalism where the square root structure is replaced by introducing auxiliary fields. Following Hassan et al. [J. High Energy Phys. 06 (2012) 170], we show that given theory possesses an additional primary constraint. Then we perform analysis of the consistency of all constraints during the time development of the system and we argue for the existence of the additional constraint. As a result, the theory possesses the correct number of physical degrees of freedom corresponding to the massive gravity.
