  • This paper presents the quantization of massive and massless spin-2 particles, using the auxiliary field method. The issue, the so-called vDVZ-discontinuity, whether the perihelion precessions for a massive graviton are in agreement with the data, is studied in the context of this spin-2 theory in tree-approximation. In the context of this setting, it is found, that a massive gravitation model with an imaginary scalar ghost, for a small graviton mass is compatible with the perihelion-precession of Mercury, etc..
