We generalize the Galileon symmetry and its relativistic extension to a de Sitter background. This is made possible by studying a probe-brane in a flat five-dimensional bulk using a de Sitter slicing. The generalized Lovelock invariants induced on the probe brane enjoy the induced Poincar\'e symmetry inherited from the bulk, while living on a de Sitter geometry. The non-relativistic limit of these invariants naturally maintain a generalized Galileon symmetry around de Sitter while being free of ghost-like pathologies. We comment briefly on the cosmology of these models and the extension to the AdS symmetry as well as generic FRW backgrounds.

  1. Stable black hole solutions with cosmological hair

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  2. Horizon Edge Partition Functions in $\Lambda>0$ Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Horizon edge mode spectra in de Sitter and Nariai spacetimes exhibit universal shift symmetries that produce novel symmetry breaking in one-loop partition functions.

  3. Galileon versus Quintessence: A comparative phase space analysis and late-time cosmic relevance

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

  4. Modified Gravity and Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2011-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A comprehensive review of modified gravity theories and their cosmological consequences, including a parameterized post-Friedmannian formalism for constraining deviations from General Relativity.
