Description
After reviewing the basic properties of a Proca field, I will discuss
how one can generalise it. The resulting theory has non-trivial derivative
self-interactions, but still propagates the required three degrees of freedom
of a massive vector field. The building blocks are similar to those used
in constructing consistent theories for massive gravity and scalar theories.
I will then discuss the cosmological implications of this generalised Proca
theories.
Suggestions
I would like to give the talk on the days either Monday, or Tuesday
or Wednesday morning but not later than that since I might be having
teaching on the other days.
