Arbitrary p-form Galileons
We show that scalar, 0-form, Galileon actions—models whose field equations contain only second derivatives—can be generalized to arbitrary even p-forms. More generally, they need not even depend on a single form, but may involve mixed p combinations, including equal pmultiplets, where odd p fields are also permitted: We construct, for given dimension D, general actions depending on scalars, vec...
متن کاملMultifield Galileons and Higher Codimension Branes
In the decoupling limit, the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model reduces to the theory of a scalar field π, with interactions including a specific cubic self-interaction—the Galileon term. This term, and its quartic and quintic generalizations, can be thought of as arising from a probe 3-brane in a five-dimensional bulk with Lovelock terms on the brane and in the bulk.We study multifield generalizati...
متن کاملGeneralizing Halfspaces Generalizing Halfspaces
Restricted-orientation convexity is the study of geometric objects whose intersection with lines from some fixed set is empty or connected. We have studied the properties of restricted-orientation convex sets and demonstrated that this notion is a generalization of standard convexity. We now describe a restricted-orientation generalization of halfspaces and explore properties of these generaliz...
متن کاملGalileons coupled to massive gravity: general analysis and cosmological solutions
We further develop the framework for coupling galileons and Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) scalar fields to a massive graviton while retaining both the non-linear symmetries of the scalars and ghost-freedom of the theory. The general construction is recast in terms of vielbeins which simplifies calculations and allows for compact expressions. Expressions for the general form of the action are derived,...
متن کاملgeneralizing quasinormality
quasinormal subgroups have been studied for nearly 80 years. in finite groups, questions concerning them invariably reduce to p-groups, and here they have the added interest of being invariant under projectivities, unlike normal subgroups. however, it has been shown recently that certain groups, constructed by berger and gross in 1982, of an important universal nature with regard to the existen...
