Abstract

A ghost free massive deformation of unimodular gravity (UG), in the spirit of mimetic massive gravity, is shown to exist. This construction avoids the no-go theorem for a Fierz–Pauli type of mass term in UG by giving up on Lorentz invariance. In our framework, the mimetic degree of freedom vanishes on-shell.
