[Xian Gao, PRD, 2014]
To the XG theory, DoF is 3, but to the extended one, the DoF generally is 4.
Under what conditions it’s reduced to 3 ？

Hamiltonian analysisResults Spatially covariant gravity with velocity of the lapse function:
The degrees of freedom is 3 if the two conditions are satisfied:
Degenerate kinetic matrix
Existence secondary constraint
Degenerate Lagrangian is not sufficient to remove a DoF.

Perturbative analysisLinear perturbations
Degeneracy condition:
We remove the extra scalar mode A only by the degeneracy condition at the linear perturbations level. What about the consistency condition？

Perturbative analysisCubic order perturbationsCubic order action of scalar mode
We need to impose the consistency condition at the cubic order perturbations in order to kill the extra scalar mode A.
There is no extra mode in arbitrarily high orders in perturbations.

• Spatially covariant gravity with velocity of the lapse function. (The most general scalar-tensor theory beyond Horndeski at this moment!)
• In homogeneous and isotropic background, Degeneracy condition is needed in linear perturbation and Consistency condition is needed in cubic order perturbation.
• In inhomogeneous background, Degeneracy condition and Consistency condition are needed in the in linear perturbation.
• Different theories can be related by field transformations.
Summary
Thank you!
