Abstract

Invertible disformal transformations are a useful tool to investigate ghost-free scalar-tensor theories. By performing a higher-derivative generalization of the invertible disformal transformation on Horndeski theories, we construct a novel class of ghost-free scalar-tensor theories, which we dub generalized disformal Horndeski theories. In the talk, I will clarify the basic idea for constructing the invertible disformal transformation with higher derivatives. I will also discuss some aspects of the generalized disformal Horndeski theories, including the consistency of matter coupling and cosmological perturbations.
