Generalized Galileons: All scalar models whose curved background extensions maintain second-order field equations and stress tensors
C. Deffayet, S. Deser, G. Esposito-Farese
We extend to curved backgrounds all flat-space scalar field models that obey purely second-order equations, while maintaining their second-order dependence on both field and metric…

Reconstructing the Distortion Function for Nonlocal Cosmology
C. Deffayet, R. P. Woodard
We consider the cosmology of modified gravity models in which Newton's constant is distorted by a function of the inverse d'Alembertian acting on the Ricci scalar. We derive a tech…

Covariant Galileon
C. Deffayet, G. Esposito-Farese, A. Vikman
We consider the recently introduced "galileon" field in a dynamical spacetime. When the galileon is assumed to be minimally coupled to the metric, we underline that both field equa…
