Abstract
Relevant deformations of gravity present an exciting window of opportunity to probe the rigidity of gravity on cosmological scales. For a single-graviton theory, the leading relevant deformation constitutes a graviton mass term.In this paper, we investigate the classical and quantum stability of massive cosmologicalgravitons on generic Friedman backgrounds. For a Universe expanding towards a deSitter epoch, we find that massive cosmological gravitons are self-protected againstunitarity violations by a strong coupling phenomenon.
