A 6th-order, but ghost-free, gauge-invariant action is found for a 4th-rank symmetric tensor potential in a three-dimensional (3D) Minkowski spacetime. It propagates two massive modes of spin 4 that are interchanged by parity, and is thus a spin-4 analog of linearized new massive gravity. Also found are ghost-free spin-4 analogs of linearized topologically massive gravity and new topologically massive gravity, of 5th- and 8th-order respectively.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of Onsager and Machlup and of Hashitsume is reformulated as a gravity analog model, in which thermodynamic variables, kinetic coefficients and generalized forces form, respectively, coordinates, metric tensor and vector
fields in a space of thermodynamic variables. The relevant symmetry of the model is the general coordinate transformation. Then, the entropy production is classified into three categories, when a closed path is depicted as a thermodynamic cycle. One category is time reversal odd, and is attributed to the number of lines of magnetic flux passing through the closed path, having monopole as a source. There are two time reversal even categories, one of which is attributed to the space curvature around the path, having gravitational instanton as a source, which dominates for a rapid operation of the cycle. The last category is the usual one, which remains even for the quasi-equilibrium operation. It is possible to extend the model to include non-linear responses. In introducing new terms, important is the dimensional counting, using two parameters, the temperature and the relaxation time. The effective action, being induced by the non-equilibrium thermodynamics, is derived. This is a candidate for the action which controls the dynamics of kinetic coefficients and thermodynamic forces. An example is given in a chemical oscillatory reaction in a solvent of the van der Waals type. Fluctuation-dissipation theorem is examined `a la Onsager, and a derivation of the gravity analog thermodynamic model from quantum mechanics is sketched, based on an analogy to the resonance problem.
We investigate the structure of equations of motion and lagrangian constraints in a general theory of massive spin 2 field interacting with external gravity. We demonstrate how consistency with the flat limit can be achieved in a number of specific s
pacetimes. One such example is an arbitrary static spacetime though equations of motion in this case may lack causal properties. Another example is provided by external gravity fulfilling vacuum Einstein equations with arbitrary cosmological constant. In the latter case there exists one-parameter family of theories describing causal propagation of the correct number of degrees of freedom for the massive spin 2 field in arbitrary dimension. For a specific value of the parameter a gauge invariance with a vector parameter appears, this value is interpreted as massless limit of the theory. Another specific value of the parameter produces gauge invariance with a scalar parameter and this cannot be interpreted as a consistent massive or massless theory.
If the graviton is the only high spin particle present during inflation, then the form of the observable tensor three-point function is fixed by de Sitter symmetry at leading order in slow-roll, regardless of the theory, to be a linear combination of
two possible shapes. This is because there are only a fixed number of possible on-shell cubic structures through which the graviton can self-interact. If additional massive spin-2 degrees of freedom are present, more cubic interaction structures are possible, including those containing interactions between the new fields and the graviton, and self-interactions of the new fields. We study, in a model-independent way, how these interactions can lead to new shapes for the tensor bispectrum. In general, these shapes cannot be computed analytically, but for the case where the only new field is a partially massless spin-2 field we give simple expressions. It is possible for the contribution from additional spin-2 fields to be larger than the intrinsic Einstein gravity bispectrum and provides a mechanism for enhancing the size of the graviton bispectrum relative to the graviton power spectrum.
We investigate the problems of consistency and causality for the equations of motion describing massive spin two field in external gravitational and massless scalar dilaton fields in arbitrary spacetime dimension. From the field theoretical point of
view we consider a general classical action with non-minimal couplings and find gravitational and dilaton background on which this action describes a theory consistent with the flat space limit. In the case of pure gravitational background all field components propagate causally. We show also that the massive spin two field can be consistently described in arbitrary background by means of the lagrangian representing an infinite series in the inverse mass. Within string theory we obtain equations of motion for the massive spin two field coupled to gravity from the requirement of quantum Weyl invariance of the corresponding two dimensional sigma-model. In the lowest order in $alpha$ we demonstrate that these effective equations of motion coincide with consistent equations derived in field theory.
A ghost free massive deformation of unimodular gravity (UG), in the spirit of {em mimetic massive gravity}, is shown to exist. This construction avoids the no-go theorem for a Fierz-Pauli type of mass term in UG by giving up on Lorentz invariance. In
our framework, the mimetic degree of freedom vanishes on-shell.
