Generalizing Galileons, Modified Gravity and New Field Theories

University of Pennsylvania

Abstract:

I will describe methods to generalize Galileons, their relation to consistent massive gravity theories; and an intriguing way to classify and construct them. I will finish with some speculations on how they may be useful in particle physics and cosmology.
