Abstract

In the holographic picture, the Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) mechanism in [Formula: see text]-dimensional Yang–Mills theories is conjectured to provide a Higgs-like mechanism for gravity in [Formula: see text] dimensions, resulting in massive (or massless) gravitons in IR (or UV) completions. Accordingly, one could imagine dual (magnetic-type) fields of massive gravitons in the IR (low-energy) limit that are coupled to the curl of their own energy–momentum, as well as to the rotation of matter fields on large scales. This hypothesis, which might solve cosmological issues currently ascribed to dark matter and dark energy, needs to be examined by the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna mission using observations of gravitational waves emitted from extragalactic sources.
