Generalized Galileon Duality

de Rham, Claudia, Keltner, Luke, Tolley, Andrew J.

Understand

We generalize the Galileon duality to any single scalar field Lagrangian coupled locally to any matter field.

Under the duality, a generalized Galileon maps into another generalized Galileon via a one parameter group of transformations, with only a simple modification of the Lagrangian functions.
We find a special class of generalized Galileons for which the duality is a symmetry of the action.
We further extend the duality to the case of vector fields and give the dual formulations of the Maxwell and Proca theories.
