Counting the degrees of freedom of generalized Galileons

Deffayet, Cedric, Esposito-Farese, Gilles, Steer, Daniele A.

Understand

We consider Galileon models on curved spacetime, as well as the counterterms introduced to maintain the second-order nature of the field equations of these models when both the metric and the scalar are made dynamical.

Working in a gauge invariant framework, we first show how all the third-order time derivatives appearing in the field equations -- both metric and scalar -- of a Galileon model or one defined by a given counterterm can be eliminated to leave field equations which contain at most second-order time derivatives of the metric and of the scalar.
The same is shown to hold for arbitrary linear combinations of such models, as well as their k-essence-like/Horndeski generalizations.
This supports the claim that the number of degrees of freedom in these models is only 3, counting 2 for the graviton and 1 for the scalar.
