Extended Cuscuton: Formulation
arXiv:1809.10935 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2018/12/002
Abstract
Among single-field scalar-tensor theories, there is a special class called "cuscuton," which is represented as some limiting case of k-essence in general relativity. This theory has a remarkable feature that the number of propagating degrees of freedom is only two in the unitary gauge in contrast to ordinary scalar-tensor theories with three degrees of freedom. We specify a general class of theories with the same property as the cuscuton in the context of the beyond Horndeski theory, which we dub as the extended cuscuton. We also study cosmological perturbations in the presence of matter in these extended cuscuton theories.
