On viability of inflation in non-minimal kinetic coupling theory
N. Avdeev, A. Toporensky
We consider initial conditions for inflation in non-minimal kinetic coupling theory. If inflation is driven solely by kinetic term with no potential, the resulting number of e-fold…

Horndeski gravity without screening in binary pulsars
P. I. Dyadina, N. A. Avdeev, S. O. Alexeyev
We test the subclasses of Horndeski gravity without Vainshtein mechanism in the strong field regime of binary pulsars. We find the rate of energy losses via the gravitational radia…
