Cosmology of a covariant Galileon field
read the original abstract
We study the cosmology of a covariant scalar field respecting a Galilean symmetry in flat space-time. We show the existence of a tracker solution that finally approaches a de Sitter fixed point responsible for cosmic acceleration today. The viable region of model parameters is clarified by deriving conditions under which ghosts and Laplacian instabilities of scalar and tensor perturbations are absent. The field equation of state exhibits a peculiar phantom-like behavior along the tracker, which allows a possibility to observationally distinguish the Galileon gravity from the Lambda-CDM model.

Testing Dark Energy with Black Hole Ringdown
Dynamical dark energy imprints O(1) shifts on black hole quasi-normal modes via cosmological hair, enabling constraints at 10^{-2} (LVK) to 10^{-4} (LISA) precision using the cubic Galileon as example.

Stable black hole solutions with cosmological hair
Stable black hole solutions with cosmological scalar hair are explicitly derived in the cubic Galileon theory, recovering cosmological behavior at large distances and regular short-range dynamics.

Galileon versus Quintessence: A comparative phase space analysis and late-time cosmic relevance
Light-mass Galileon models with cubic interactions and three tested potentials have no stable late-time accelerating attractors in phase space, unlike quintessence which has stable de-Sitter attractors for cosh potentials.
