An alternative for the construction of fundamental theories is the introduction of Galileons. These are fields whose action leads to non higher than second-order equations of motion. As this is a necessary but not sufficient condition to make the Hamiltonian bounded from below, as long as the action is not degenerate, the Galileon construction is a way to avoid pathologies both at the classical and quantum levels. Galileon actions are, therefore, of great interest in many branches of physics, specially in high energy physics and cosmology. This proceedings contribution presents the generalities of the construction of both scalar and vector Galileons following two different but complimentary routes.

  1. Mass-Temperature relation in $\Lambda$CDM and modified gravity

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A semianalytic ΛCDM cluster model with angular momentum, dynamical friction, and external pressure produces a mass-temperature relation that mimics f(R) and symmetron predictions, weakening the MTR as a gravity probe.
