Abstract:
Recently it has been discovered that a generalization of conformal transformations, called disformal, relate large sections of the modified gravity landscape. We will present a novel approach to disformal transformation using Lie groups. Even if two models are related by a disformal transformation, the transfer of properties is not obvious because these transformations mix positions and velocities. We will show how to prove equivalence between two models in general situations.
