3 Outline Purpose To clarify how to construct theories evading Ostrogradsky ghost. * Ostrogradsky ghost Ghost (carrying negative energy) associated with general higher derivative theory. Result We derived no-ghost condition (degeneracy condition) for various types of Lagrangians.
4 Simple example: L = 7 8 x 8 4th order EL eq x = 0 requires 4 initial conditions = 2 DOF. Hamiltonian is unbounded z = x + y 2, w = x y 2 L = x y 1 2 y8 = x y 1 2 y8 = 1 2 w z H = 1 2 p G p H w z 8 w z 8 2 DOF = 1 healthy + 1 ghost Problematic when coupled to a normal system
5 Ostrogradsky theorem for L(φ, φ, φ) For Lagrangian L(φ, φ, φ) with φ = φ t, 8 L/ φ 8 0 H is unbounded. L is nondegenerate. Woodard, EL eq 8 L φ 8 φ L+ d 8 L dt φ 8 φ N = (terms up to φ ) 8 L/ φ 8 0 4th order system = 2 DOF
6 Ostrogradsky theorem for L(φ, φ, φ) For Lagrangian L(φ, φ, φ) with φ = φ t, 8 L/ φ 8 0 H is unbounded. Hamiltonian analysis Consider an equivalent form L Q, Q, φ + λ(q φ ) Canonical momenta for φ, λ, Q: p = λ, π = 0, P = L/ Q 2 primary constraints 8 L/ φ ini. conds. Q = Q (P, Q, φ) p + λ, π = 1 second class, no secondary constraints 6 2 /2 = 2 DOF Dirac, Lectures on Quantum Mechanics Henneaux, Teitelboim, Quantization of gauge systems
7 Ostrogradsky theorem for L(φ, φ, φ) For Lagrangian L(φ, φ, φ) with φ = φ t, 8 L/ φ 8 0 H is unbounded. Hamiltonian analysis Consider an equivalent form L Q, Q, φ + λ(q φ ) Canonical momenta for φ, λ, Q: p = λ, π = 0, P = L/ Q Total Hamiltonian H _ = pq + PQ P, Q, φ L(Q P, Q, φ, Q, φ) p shows up only linearly. H is unbounded. 6 2 /2 = 2 DOF = 1 healthy + 1 ghost
8 Eliminating Ostrogradsky ghost For Lagrangian L(φ, φ, φ) with φ = φ t, 8 L/ φ 8 0 H is unbounded. Let us impose ü EL eq is 2nd order as 8 L 8 L φ 8 φ L+ d dt 8 L/ φ 8 = 0 ü Hamiltonian analysis φ 8 φ N = (terms up to φ ) P = L/ Q becomes additional 1 primary constraint Additional 1 secondary constraint /2 = 1 DOF. H is bounded. ü Removes φl and φn from EOM
9 Eliminating Ostrogradsky ghost For Lagrangian L(φ, φ, φ) with φ = φ t, 8 L/ φ 8 0 H is unbounded. 8 L/ φ 8 = 0 :The degeneracy (ghost-free) condition. ü EL eq is 2nd order 1 DOF ü H is bounded healthy The most general ghost-free Lagrangian is L = φ f φ, φ + g φ, φ = G φ, φ so long as we consider L(φ, φ, φ).
10 Ostrogradsky ghost for L(φ a, φ a, φ a ) For L(φ a, φ a, φ a ) with φ a = φ a t and a = 1, n, det K 0 H is unbounded, where K ab = gh i gj k gj l. kinetic matrix EL eq K φlb ab = terms up to φna det K 0 4th order system. H is unbounded. n healthy + n ghost DOF.
11 Eliminating Ostrogradsky ghost For L(φ a, φ a, φ a ) with φ a = φ a t and a = 1, n, det K 0 H is unbounded, where K ab = Let us impose gh i gj k gj l. K ab = 0 gh i gj k gj l M ab = EL eq K φlb ab + K ab + M φnb a ab = terms up to φ Clearly, imposing K ab = 0 is no more sufficient. K ab = 0, det M 0 n: even 3rd order system H is unbounded. 3n ini. conds. are required. HM, Suyama, gh i gj l gj k
12 Eliminating Ostrogradsky ghost For L(φ a, φ a, φ a ) with φ a = φ a t and a = 1, n, det K 0 where K ab = or det M 0 gh i gj k gj l and M ab = H is unbounded, gh i gj k gj l gh i gj l gj k. Ghost-free condition K ab = 0 and M ab = 0 ü EL eq 2nd order system ü H is bounded. ü Removes φla ü Removes φna ü It is possible to generalize the same logic to L(φ a r, φ a rs7,, φ a )
13 Evading Ostrogradsky ghost If L(φ a, φ a, φ a ) has higher-order EL eq Ghost DOF. Does it hold for system with multiple variables with different order of derivatives? ( ST theory ) Not always. If a set of higher-order EL eqs can be reduced to 2nd order system, the system does not suffer from Ostrogradsky ghost. There exists a healthy class of scalar-tensor theory beyond Horndeski
14 Horndeski theory 3 DOF = 2 for g "# + 1 for φ Most general theory for 2nd order EL eq is Horndeski theory or generalized Galileon L 8 = G 8 φ, X L w = G w φ, X φ X " φ " φ L x = G x φ, X R 2G xy φ, X φ 8 " # φ 8 Horndeski, 1974 Deffayet, Gao, Steer, Zahariade, Kobayashi, Yamaguchi, Yokoyama, L z = G z φ, X G "# " # φ + 7 w G zy φ, X φ w 3 φ " # φ 8 + " # φ w ü 2nd order EL eq Ostrogradsky ghost-free
15 beyond Horndeski: GLPV In ADM formalism, Horndeski Lagrangian is written as L = A 8 φ, X + A w φ, X K +A x φ, X K 8 K B x φ, X (w) R +A z φ, X (K w 3KK K 23 w ) + B z (φ, X)(U K w R/2) with A x = 2XB x,y B x, A z = XB z,y /3.

At least, X = x + ay, Y = y cannot transform it. Is there some other transformation? Not clear.

19 Healthy scalar-tensor theory quadratic DHOST / EST Parallel to what we saw previously, but needs to deal with mixed orders of derivatives. Toy model was first studied L = 1 2 aφ k Œφ k 23q 2 q 3 + b 2 φ q 2 + c 2 φ q 2 V φ, q which applies to only φ 8 order. More general analysis is required beyond φ 8.
20 L(φ, φ, φ; q, q) φ t, q t have different orders of derivatives. Equivalent form L Q, Q, φ; q, q + λ φ Q. Canonical momenta for φ and λ 2 primary constraints From P = L and p = L (L y L/ X) δp δp = L L δq. L L δq If det K 0 No further primary constraints. We thus impose HM, Noui, Suyama, Yamaguchi, Langlois, kinetic matrix K det K = 0. 8 ini. conds.
21 L(φ, φ, φ; q, q) Several cases are possible. Let us consider the case L and L L 8 0, /L = 0, as q-system is nondegenerate and we focus on how the degeneracy cures φ-system. Diagonalization K = L 8 /L L = O s7 0 0 L L 0 L (L Thus, δp = L L δp, 8 /L δp = L δq + L δq P = F p, q, Q, φ 8 + 1) O
22 L(φ, φ, φ; q, q) The condition L 0, and L L /L = 0, is equivalent to 1 primary constraint P = F p, q, Q, φ Additional 1 secondary constraint /2 = 2 DOF. ü 2 DOF, H is bounded. ü EL eq can be reducible to 2nd order system.
23 L(φ, φ, φ; q, q) L(Q, Q, φ; q, q) ü EL eq L dl dt = 0, L dl dt = λ, L j = λ, φ = Q, K Q q V λ = v λ = V F v L (q + F Q ) = v (L L )(q + F Q ) = w ℇ 7 L w (L L )v = 0 From ℇ 7 = 0 we can express φn in terms of 1st order derivatives ℇ 8 = 0 2nd order eqs
24 L(φ, φ, φ; q 2, q 2 ) φ t, q 2 (t) with i = 1, m. Equivalent form L Q, Q, φ; q 2, q 2 + λ φ Q. Canonical momenta for φ and λ 2 primary constraints From P = L and p 2 = L (L y L/ X) δp = L L œ δq. δp 2 L œ δq 3 L If det K 0 No further primary constraints. We thus impose kinetic matrix K det K = 0. 2m + 6 ini. conds.
25 L(φ, φ, φ; q 2, q 2 ) To avoid removing healthy q 2 DOF, let us assume det L œ 0, under which det K = 0 reads L L k 23 L œ = 0, where k 23 L œ ž = δ Ÿ 2. The condition is equivalent to additional 1 primary constraint P = F p 2, q 2, Q, φ Additional 1 secondary constraint 2m /2 = m + 1 DOF. ü m + 1 DOF, H is bounded. ü EL eq is reducible to 2nd order system.
26 L(φ a, φ a, φ a ; q 2, q 2 ) φ a t, q 2 (t) with a = 1, n and i = 1, m. An equivalent form L Q a, Q a, φ a ; q 2, q 2 + λ a φ a Q a. Canonical momenta for φ a and λ a 2n primary constraints As a natural generalization, we assume and impose det K = 0, i.e. L k l L kk 23 L œ l = 0, 2m + 6n ini. conds. det L œ 0, ü Removes φla which is equivalent to additional n primary constraints Ξ a P a F a p 2, q 2, Q b, φ b = 0. In this case, the number of constraints is not sufficient.
27 L(φ a, φ a, φ a ; q 2, q 2 ) From the consistency condition Ξ a = Ξ a, H + ξ b Ξ a, Ξ b = 0. If Ξ a, Ξ b is invertible, the Lagrange multipliers ξ b are determined and there are no secondary constraints. We thus impose or 8 L Q [a φ b] + 8 L Q [a q 2 k23 8 L q 3 φ + b] n secondary constraints: Ξ a, H = 0. 2m + 6n 2n n n /2 = m + n DOF. ü m + n DOF, H is bounded.

29 Healthy scalar-tensor theory quadratic & cubic DHOST / EST ü Ghost-free Lagrangian for φ 8 and φ w is constructed using the above approach with ADM decomposition. Open questions DOF counting differs in the unitary gauge (nondegenerate vs degenerate). cf. HM, Suyama, Takahashi, Can we check whether redefinition of fields for given higher-order theory? Higher powers? Third order derivatives? Multi-field? HM, Suyama, Yamaguchi, in progress
30 L(ψN, ψ, ψ, ψ; q, q) Equivalent form L Q 8, Q 8, Q 7, ψ; q, q + λ 7 ψ Q 7 + λ 8 Q 7 Q 8. Canonical momenta for q, ψ, λ 7, λ 8 4 primary constraints 12 ini. conds. Need more constraints from P 7, P 8 Impose det K = 0 with det L 0, i.e. L L 8 h h h /L = 0, which is equivalent to additional 1 primary constraint Φ z P 8 F p, Q 8, Q 7, ψ, q = 0, Generates 1 secondary constraint from Φ z = 0 Φ = 0. ü Removes ψ ( ) and ψ (z)
31 L(ψN, ψ, ψ, ψ; q, q) Additional condition to obtain 1 secondary constraint Φ, Φ z = 0 Φ = 0 Then Φ, Φ z = 0 identically holds and generates 1 secondary constraint Φ ª = 0 from. Finally we impose ü Removes Φ, Φ 0 ψ (x) and ψ (w) to make Dirac algorithm end with Φ ª and /2 = 2 DOF. ü Hamiltonian analysis ü EL eqs should be reducible to 2nd order system explicitly checked removing up to ψ ( ), ψ (z), ψ (x).
32 Summary Ostrogradsky ghost can be eliminated by imposing constraints, or degeneracy conditions. They play a crucial role for construction of healthy scalar-tensor theories, and allowed one to construct healthy theories with φ 8 and φ w. It may be possible to construct more general healthy theories e.g. with φ.
33 Summary We derived the degeneracy condition for various Lagrangians: ü L(φ a, φ a, φ a ) ü L(φ, φ, φ; q, q) ü L(φ, φ, φ; q 2, q 2 ) φ + g "# ü L(φ a, φ a, φ a ; q 2, q 2 ) φ a + g "# ü L(ψN, ψ, ψ, ψ; q, q) ü L(ψN, ψ, ψ, ψ; q 2, q 2 ) Healthy theory with 3rd order derivative!
