Abstract

We prove the existence of new classes of ghost- and tachyon- free gauge-invariant gravity Lagrangians for the spontaneously broken Poincaré, affine, and projective groups, respectively. To do so the formalism of spin-projection semioperators which generalizes the one of the ordinary spin-projection operators has been developed.
