Abstract:
The wish to "give a mass to the graviton" (or to make gravity finite range) is old
and has motivations ranging from cosmology to the achievement of a theoretical
challenge. After reviewing the attempts in this direction and their numerous obstacles,
I will discuss recent progresses. In a second part of the talk, I will introduce some our
results on the construction of a consistent partially massless graviton on curved
backgrounds as well as that of a theory of multiple partially massless such fields."
