      abstract = {This work is a detailed study of both the theoretical and  phenomenological consequences of a massive graviton, within  the ghost-free theory of massive gravity, the de  Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) theory. Its aim is to test the  physical viability of the theory. It begins by putting  constraints on the parameters of the theory in the  decoupling limit based on purely theoretical grounds, like  classical stability in the cosmological evolution of  self-accelerating and degravitating solutions. The author  then constructs a proxy theory to massive gravity from the  decoupling limit resulting in non-minimally coupled  scalar-tensor interactions as an example of a subclass of  Horndeski theories. Lastly, she addresses the natural  question of whether the parameters introduced in the dRGT  theory are subject to strong renormalization by quantum  loops and shows how the non-renormalization theorem  protects the graviton mass from quantum corrections. Beyond  the decoupling limit the quantum corrections are found to  be proportional to the graviton mass, proving its technical  naturalness.},
