TDiff and Weyl Invariant Massive Spin-2: Linear Theory

We use Kaluza-Klein reduction to construct flat-space massive spin-2 Lagrangians based on a kinetic term that has local Weyl and transverse-diffeomorphism gauge symmetries in the massless limit. This yields Lagrangians describing a free massive spin-2 which differ from the usual Fierz-Pauli theory,...
