Invertible disformal transformations are a useful tool to investigate ghost-free scalar-tensor theories. By performing a higher-derivative generalization of the invertible disformal transformation on Horndeski theories, we construct a novel class of ghost-free scalar-tensor theories, which we dub generalized disformal Horndeski theories. Specifically, these theories lie beyond the quadratic/cubic DHOST class. We explore cosmological perturbations to identify a subclass where gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light and clarify the conditions for the absence of ghost/gradient instabilities for tensor and scalar perturbations. We also investigate the conditions under which a matter field can be consistently coupled to these theories without introducing unwanted extra degrees of freedom.

Disformal Maps: Classification and Singular Dynamics
Disformal transformations are classified by a Cayley-Hamilton degree and Hawking-Ellis type, and the mimetic energy-momentum tensor's type follows from a polynomial map of the original tensor.

A New Definition of Horndeski Theory and the Possibility of Multiple Scalar Field Extensions
Horndeski theory is re-characterized as the disformally-closed class anchored to a minimal seed action, reproducing the known single-field action and generating multi-field antisymmetric terms, with full multi-field v...

Primordial black hole dark matter from ultra-slow-roll inflation in Horndeski gravity
A kinetic cubic Horndeski coupling creates an ultra-slow-roll phase that amplifies curvature perturbations enough to produce asteroid-mass primordial black holes, potentially 90% of dark matter.

Stealth black hole solutions in higher-order Maxwell-Einstein theories
Under specific algebraic conditions on the coupling functions, Reissner-Nordström and Schwarzschild-(A)dS solutions persist in higher-order Maxwell-Einstein theories, including stealth solutions and dyonic solutions i...
