The widely accepted threshold of <65 μm for coronary plaque fibrous cap thickness was derived from postmortem studies ruptured plaques and may not be appropriate in vivo rupture-prone plaques.

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.

Abstract Typically, constraints on parameters of the effective field theory (EFT) dark energy have been obtained in Jordan frame, where matter fields are minimally coupled to gravity. To connect these with those EFT black hole perturbations a timelike scalar profile, it is necessary perform frame transformation general. In this paper, we study conformal/disformal an arbitrary background. Furthermore, explore effect operator M 6 ( r ) σ̅ μ ν δK α , which elusive LIGO/Virgo bound...
We study static spherically symmetric black hole solutions with a linearly time-dependent scalar field and discuss their linear stability in the shift- reflection-symmetric subclass of quadratic degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories. present explicit forms reduced system background equations for generic theory within this subclass. Using motion, we show that several cases solution is forced to be Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild--(anti-)de Sitter form. consider odd-parity...
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...

We consider a higher-derivative generalization of disformal transformations in $D$-dimensional spacetime and clarify the conditions under which they form group with respect to matrix product functional composition. These allow us systematically construct inverse transformation fully covariant manner. Applying invertible generalized known ghost-free scalar-tensor theories, we obtain novel class whose action contains third- or higher-order derivatives scalar field as well nontrivial derivative...
Modified gravity theories can accommodate exact solutions, for which the metric has same form as one in general relativity, i.e., stealth solutions. One problem with these solutions is that perturbations around them exhibit strong coupling when are realized degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theories. We show be circumvented framework of so-called U-DHOST theories, degeneracy partially broken such a way higher-derivative terms only unitary gauge. In this sense, scordatura effect built-in...

Abstract We formulate the effective field theory (EFT) of vector-tensor gravity for perturbations around an arbitrary background with a timelike vector profile, which can be applied to study black hole perturbations. The profile spontaneously breaks both time diffeomorphism and U(1) symmetry, leaving their combination spatial as residual symmetries in unitary gauge. derive two sets consistency relations guarantee EFT. Also, we provide dictionary between our EFT coefficients those generalized...
Abstract It has recently been pointed out that one can construct invertible conformal transformations with a parity-violating factor, which be employed to generate novel class of ghost-free metric theories from general relativity. We obtain exact solutions for rotating black holes in such by performing the transformation on Kerr solution relativity, we dub solutions. explore geodesic motion test particle spacetime. While null geodesics remain same as those spacetime, timelike exhibit...
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...
Abstract We study U-DHOST theories, i.e., higher-order scalar-tensor theories which are degenerate only in the unitary gauge and yield an apparently unstable extra mode a generic coordinate system. show that satisfies three-dimensional elliptic differential equation on spacelike hypersurface, hence it does not propagate. clarify how to treat this “shadowy” at both linear nonlinear levels.

For reflection-symmetric theories described k-essence nonminimal derivative Ricci scalar, we show...
In full Horndeski theories, we show that the static and spherically symmetric black hole (BH) solutions with a scalar field $\ensuremath{\phi}$ whose kinetic term $X$ is nonvanishing on BH horizon are generically prone to ghost/Laplacian instabilities. We then search for asymptotically Minkowski hairy vanishing free from models regular coupling functions of result in no-hair Schwarzschild BHs general. On other hand, presence between Gauss-Bonnet (GB) ${R}_{\mathrm{GB}}^{2}$, even coexistence...

We then use study dynamics odd-parity static spherically symmetric black hole profile. Finally, obtain...
Invertible disformal transformations serve as a useful tool to explore ghost-free scalar-tensor theories. In this paper, we construct generalization of invertible that involves arbitrary higher-order covariant derivatives the scalar field. As result, obtain more general class theories than ever. Notably, our is such matter fields can be consistently coupled these without introducing an unwanted extra degree freedom in unitary gauge.
Abstract Generalized disformal transformations enable us to construct the generalized Horndeski theories, which form most general class of ghost-free scalar-tensor theories this date. 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
Recently, a generalization of invertible disformal transformations containing higher-order derivatives scalar field has been proposed in the context scalar-tensor theories gravity. By applying this generalized transformation to Horndeski theory, one can obtain so-called (GDH) which are more general healthy than ever. However, it is unclear whether or not GDH be coupled consistently matter fields because introducing could break degeneracy conditions and hence yield unwanted Ostrogradsky...
