Emergence of ghosts in Horndeski theory
Abstract We show that starting from initial conditions with stable perturbations, evolution of a galileon scalar field results in the appearance of a ghost later on. To demonstrate this, we consider a theory with k-essence and cubic galileon Lagrangians on a fixed Minkowski background. Explicit anal...
