We discuss a field transformation from fields psi(a) to other fields phi(i) involving derivatives. We derive conditions for this transformation to be invertible, primarily focusing on the simplest case that maps between a pair of fields and involves up to their first derivatives. Our derivation is based on the method of characteristics, which is used to count the number of independent solutions of a given differential equation. We show some non-trivial examples of invertible field transformations with derivatives, and provide a rigorous proof that a simple extension of the disformal transformation involving a second derivative of the scalar field is not invertible.
We discuss a field transformation from fields psi(a) to other fields phi(i) that involves derivatives, phi(i) = (phi) over bar (i)(psi(a), partial derivative(alpha)psi(a,) ...; chi(mu)), and derive conditions for this transformation to be invertible, primarily focusing on the simplest case that the transformation maps between a pair of fields and involves up to their first derivatives. General field transformation of this type changes the number of degrees of freedom; hence, for the transformation to be invertible, it must satisfy certain degeneracy conditions so that additional degrees of freedom do not appear. Our derivation of necessary and sufficient conditions for invertible transformation is based on the method of characteristics, which is used to count the number of independent solutions of a given differential equation. As applications of the invertibility conditions, we show some non-trivial examples of the invertible field transformations with derivatives, and also give a rigorous proof that a simple extension of the disformal transformation involving a second derivative of the scalar field is not invertible.
