Solutions of massive gravity theories in contant scalar invariant

We solve massive gravity field equations for all locally homogenous and vanishing scalar invariant (VSI) Lorentzian spacetimes, which in three dimensions up to fibering and warping are the building blocks of constant scalar invariant (CSI) spacetimes. At first, we provide an exhaustive list of all Lorentzian 3D homogeneous spaces and then we determine the Petrov type of the relevant curvature tensors. Among these geometries we determine for which values of their structure constants they are solutions of the field equations of massive gravity theories with cosmological constant. The homogeneous solutions founded are of all various Petrov types : I_C, I_R, II, III, D_t, D_s, N, O; the VSI geometries which we found are of Petrov type III.
