Modes of log gravity

The physical modes of a recently proposed D-dimensional ‘‘critical gravity’’, linearized about its anti-de Sitter vacuum, are investigated. All ‘‘log mode’’ solutions, which we categorize as ‘‘spin-2’’ or ‘‘Proca’’, arise as limits of the massive spin-2 modes of the noncritical theory. The lineari...
