The answer to this question involves an extension of the usual Pauli_Fiertz Langrangian as written by Ortin, with non-zero graviton mass contributing to a relationship between the trace of a revised GR stress-energy tensor (assuming non-zero graviton mass), and the trace of a revised symmetric tensor times a tiny mass for a 4 dimensional graviton. The resulting analysis makes use of Visser’s treatment of a stress energy tensor, with experimental applications discussed in the resulting analysis. If the square of frequency of a massive graviton is real valued and greater than zero, stability can be possibly confirmed experimentally.
