Abstract
Recently, the Effective Field Theory (EFT) of perturbations on an arbitrary background metric with a timelike scalar profile was formulated in the context of scalar-tensor theories. Here, we generalize the dictionary between the coefficients in the EFT action and those in covariant theories to accommodate shift- and reflection-symmetric quadratic higher-order scalar-tensor theories, including DHOST as well as U-DHOST. We then use the EFT action to study the dynamics of odd-parity perturbations on a static and spherically symmetric black hole background with a timelike scalar profile. Finally, we obtain the generalized Regge-Wheeler equation that can be used, e.g., to determine the spectrum of quasinormal modes and tidal Love numbers.
