Inflation with 0 ≤ cs ≤1

Mohammad Ali Gorji et al.

Summary: We investigate a novel single field inflationary scenario that allows a transition from slow-roll inflation to ghost inflation, achieved through smoothly unifying the two phases with the introduction of a higher derivative scordatura term. The model avoids strong coupling and gradient instability and provides a self-consistent approach to accessing ghost inflation.

The effective field theory of vector-tensor theories

Katsuki Aoki et al.

Summary: In this study, a systematic formulation of vector-tensor theories based on the effective field theory (EFT) approach is investigated. The study highlights the universal differences between scalar-tensor theories and vector-tensor theories. The characteristic properties of vector-tensor theories in the context of dark energy are discussed by studying linear cosmological perturbations.

Avoidance of Strong Coupling in General Relativity Solutions with a Timelike Scalar Profile in a Class of Ghost-Free Scalar-Tensor Theories

Antonio De Felice et al.

Summary: In modified gravity theories, the strong coupling problem of stealth solutions can be avoided with the use of U-DHOST theories. Additionally, the existence of a nonpropagating mode in U-DHOST theories is clarified.

Effective field theory of black hole perturbations with timelike scalar profile: formulation

Shinji Mukohyama et al.

Summary: This study formulates the Effective Field Theory (EFT) of perturbations within scalar-tensor theories on an inhomogeneous background. A set of consistency relations imposed by the invariance of the EFT under the 3d spatial diffeomorphism is found. This EFT can be applied generically to any in-homogeneous background metric as long as the scalar profile is everywhere timelike.

Linear stability of black holes in shift-symmetric Horndeski theories with a time-independent scalar field

Masato Minamitsuji et al.

Summary: In this article, we study linear perturbations about static and spherically symmetric black holes in shift-symmetric Horndeski theories. We clarify conditions for the absence of ghosts and Laplacian instabilities and investigate various black hole solutions in both reflection-symmetric and nonreflection-symmetric theories.

Nonlinear definition of the shadowy mode in higher-order scalar-tensor theories

Antonio De Felice et al.

Summary: The study focuses on U-DHOST theories, specifically examining the extra mode that arises in a generic coordinate system. The analysis reveals that this extra mode does not propagate, satisfying a three-dimensional elliptic differential equation on a spacelike hypersurface. The study also delves into how to handle this mysterious mode at both linear and nonlinear levels.

Stealth dark energy in scordatura DHOST theory

Mohammad Ali Gorji et al.

Summary: In the context of scalar-tensor theories, stealth de Sitter solutions face issues of infinite strong coupling or gradient instability, which can be resolved by introducing a controlled detuning mechanism known as scordatura. This mechanism not only resolves the mentioned issues, but also ensures a well-defined quasi-static limit.

Black hole perturbations in DHOST theories: master variables, gradient instability, and strong coupling

Kazufumi Takahashi et al.

Summary: We studied linear perturbations about static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions with stealth scalar hair in degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories. Master variables were clarified and the quadratic Lagrangian for both odd- and even-parity perturbations was derived. It was found that the even modes are generally plagued by gradient instabilities, or else the perturbations would be strongly coupled.

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First Half of the Third Observing Run

R. Abbott et al.

Summary: This report presents 39 candidate gravitational-wave events detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between April 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019. The events include black hole binary mergers up to a redshift of approximately 0.8 and events where the components cannot be unambiguously identified. The range of candidate event masses has expanded compared to previous catalogs, with the inclusion of binary systems with asymmetric mass ratios.
