Introduction & goals anti-correlation of TE spectrum -> super-h curvature perturbations (future) BB spectrum -> super-h gravitational-wave perturbations The primordial linear tensor power spectrum from inflation can be always cast into the standard form at leading order in derivatives with suitable conformal and disformal transformations in EFT of inflation. [Creminelli et al 1407.8439] Invariance of the curvature perturbation under disformal transformations has been shown at linear order. [Minamitsuji 1409.1566, Tsujikawa 1412.6210] We extend the invariance of the curvature and GW perturbations to fully nonlinear order. We further show the invariance under a new type of disformal transformation, dubbed multi-disformal transformation, generated by a multi-component scalar field.

Multi-disformal transformation Suppose there are N component scalar field, φ I (I =1,, N ). consider g µν = A(φ I,X IJ ) g µν + B KL (φ I,X IJ ) µ φ K ν φ L, X IJ = 1 2 gµν µ φ I ν φ J φ I = φ I (ϕ) Adiabatic [ limit: ] ] g µν = g µν + B KL [φ I (ϕ),x IJ (ϕ, ϕ) (φ K ) (φ L ) µ ϕ ν ϕ, (φ I ) dφi dϕ The uniform ϕ slicing: ] g µν = g µν + B KL [φ I (ϕ),x IJ (ϕ, ϕ/α) (φ K ) (φ L ) ϕ 2 δ µ 0 δ ν 0 Since the multi-disformal transformation only affects the lapse function, we can apply the same argument as before!
Summary The curvature and tensor perturbations on the uniform φ slicing are fully nonlinearly invariant under the disformal transformation. The same conclusion can be drawn for a multi-component extension of the disformal transformation, dubbed multi-disformal transformation, on the uniform ϕ slicing in the adiabatic limit. Once a 2nd order differential eq. is obtained in modified gravity or EFT, one can map it into the same form as the one in GR by a suitable disformal transformation.
