BB mode angular power spectrum of CMB from massive gravity

Abstract

The BB-mode correlation angular power spectrum of CMB is studied for primordial massive gravitational waves for several inflation models. The comparative study of the angular power spectrum with the joint BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck data suggests further constraint on the lower and upper bounds on the mass of primordial gravitons. Assuming a modified dispersion relation, the mass of primordial graviton is also calculated. The resulting constraint also agrees with other theoretical estimates.
