Violating general covariance

Abstract

The explicit violation of the general covariance on the whole and its minimal violation to the unimodular covariance specifically is considered. The proper extension of General Relativity is shown to describe consistently the massive scalar graviton together with the massless tensor one, as the parts of the metric. The bearing of the scalar graviton to the dark matter and dark energy is indicated.
