We propose a novel class of degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theories as an extension mimetic gravity. By performing noninvertible conformal transformation on "seed" which may be nondegenerate, we can generate large with at most three physical degrees freedom. identify general seed theory for this is possible. Cosmological perturbations in these extended are also studied. It shown that either tensor or scalar plagued gradient instabilities, except special case where the presumably...

Among single-field scalar-tensor theories, there is a special class called "cuscuton", which represented as some limiting case of k-essence in general relativity. This theory has remarkable feature that the number propagating degrees freedom only two unitary gauge contrast to ordinary theories with three freedom. We specify same property cuscuton context beyond Horndeski theory, we dub extended cuscuton. also study cosmological perturbations presence matter these theories.

Regardless of the long history gauge theories, it is not well recognized under which condition fixing at action level legitimate. We address this issue from Lagrangian point view, and prove following theorem on relation between Euler-Lagrange equations: In any theory, if a complete, i.e., functions are determined uniquely by conditions, equations derived gauge-fixed equivalent to those original supplemented with conditions. Otherwise, appropriate impose conditions before deriving as may in...

An invertible field transformation is such that the old variables correspond one-to-one to new variables. As such, one may think two systems are related by an physically equivalent. However, if depends on derivatives, equivalence between nontrivial due appearance of higher derivative terms in equations motion. To address this problem, we prove following theorem relation and Euler-Lagrange equations: If invertible, then any solution original set mapped a equations, vice versa. We also present...

We extend effective field theory (EFT) cosmological perturbations incorporate these theories. The main difference from conventional EFT is that our extended involves operators with higher spatial derivatives lapse function. Our also accommodates transformation U-DHOST
