Ricci cubic gravity in d dimensions, gravitons and SAdS/Lifshitz black holes

Abstract A special class of higher curvature theories of gravity, Ricci cubic gravity (RCG), in general d dimensional space-time has been investigated in this paper. We have used two different approaches, the linearized equations of motion and the auxiliary field formalism to study the massive and m...
