Causal structure in the scalar–tensor theory with field derivative coupling to the Einstein tensor
We investigate the causal structure in the scalar–tensor theory with the field derivative coupling to the Einstein tensor, which is a class of the Horndeski theory in the four-dimensional spacetime. We show that in general the characteristic hypersurface is non-null, which admits the superluminal pr...
