Galileon inflation
read the original abstract
Galileon inflation is a radiatively stable higher derivative model of inflation. The model is determined by a finite number of relevant operators which are protected by a covariant generalization of the Galileon shift symmetry. We show that the nongaussianity of the primordial density perturbation generated during an epoch of Galileon inflation is a particularly powerful observational probe of these models and that, when the speed of sound is small, fNL can be larger than the usual result fNL ~ 1/c_s^2.

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.
