We calculate the one-loop quantum corrections in the cubic Galileon theory, using cutoff regularization. We confirm the expected form of the one-loop effective action and that the couplings of the Galileon theory do not get renormalized. However, new terms, not included in the tree-level action, are induced by quantum corrections. We also consider the one-loop corrections in an effective brane theory, which belongs to the Horndeski or generalized Galileon class. We find that new terms are generated by quantum corrections, while the tree-level couplings are also renormalized. We conclude that the structure of the generalized Galileon theories is altered by quantum corrections more radically than that of the Galileon theory.

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A probe-brane construction yields multi-galileon theories on de Sitter space whose so(N)-breaking vacuum has Goldstone modes with vanishing kinetic terms, giving two dS vacua with different propagating degrees of freedom.
