A New Limit on the Graviton Mass from the Convergence Scale of the CMB Dipole

Abstract

The clustering dipole in the 2MASS galaxy survey converges on a scale of ~400Mpc to the local peculiar velocity inferred from the Cosmic-Microwave-Background dipole. I show that this limits the graviton mass in Yukawa theories of gravity to less than 5x10-32eV. The new limit is 2.5x108 times tighter than the latest constraint from gravitational waves detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration.
