Covariant scalar-tensor theories beyond second derivatives

Mohammad Ali Gorji, Pavel Petrov, Karim Noui

We propose a covariant, gauge-independent construction of foliation-based scalar-tensor theories, yielding diffeomorphism-invariant operators involving only gradients on the hypers…

Bounds on Gravitational Wave Production from Unitarity in an Early NEC-Violating Model

Pavel Petrov, Jianing Wang

We study a cosmological scenario featuring an early phase of null energy condition (NEC) violation. Within this framework, we show that perturbative unitarity bounds place strong c…

Abelian and non-Abelian mimetic black holes

Mohammad Ali Gorji, Susmita Jana, Pavel Petrov

We investigate black hole solutions in the mimetic extension of the Einstein-Yang-Mills system, in which the Yang-Mills term is constrained to be constant. In the Abelian U(1) case…

Linear Higher-Order Maxwell-Einstein-Scalar Theories

Mohammad Ali Gorji, Shinji Mukohyama, Pavel Petrov +1

In the context of the Higher-Order Maxwell-Einstein-Scalar (HOMES) theories, which are invariant under spacetime diffeomorphisms and gauge symmetry, we study two broad subcl…

Genesis--Starobinsky inflation can explain the ACT data

Han Gil Choi, Pavel Petrov, Seong Chan Park

We propose a novel non-singular cosmological scenario within the framework of Horndeski gravity, consisting of three successive stages: (i) a Genesis phase, in which the Universe s…

Unitarity relation and unitarity bounds for scalars with different sound speeds

Y. Ageeva, P. Petrov

Motivated by scalar-tensor gravities, we consider a theory which contains massless scalar fields with different sound speeds. We derive unitarity relations for partial wave amplitu…
