Stückelberg Fields Diff. invariance can always be restored By adding four Stückelberg Scalar Fields 5 dofs: Helicity-2: behaves as GR with small mass Heliciy-1: decouples from matter Helicity-0: behaves as a Galileon scalar field
Stückelberg Fields Helicity-0 mode behaves as a `Galileon in some limit Where the Galilean symmetry is manifest And the equations of motion for p are second order. Screened via the Vainshtein Mechanism! CdR & Gabadadze, 2010
Vainshtein Mechanism Helicity-0 mode p couples to matter with the same strength as gravity Vainshtein, PLB39, 393 (1972)
Vainshtein Mechanism The non-linearities (kinetic interactions) are essential to screen the helicity-0 mode Vainshtein, PLB39, 393 (1972)
Vainshtein Mechanism The interactions for the helicity-0 mode are important at a very low energy scale, Can we trust these irrelevant interactions?

Vainshtein mechanism Relies on irrelevant operators that arise at a (VERY!) low energy scale No Wilsonian UV Can we rely on irrelevant operators and not be dominated by Quantum Corrections? completion Relies on a redressing of the Kinetic Term eg. see Eden, Landsho, Olive and Polkinghorne, The analytic S-matrix, 1966 Does it change the causal structure? Is it acausal???
Vainshtein in trouble Vainshtein mechanism relies on: Irrelevant operators: standard Cut-off reg. analysis would show the theory is not technically natural Exact Renormalization Group helps Redressing of the kinetic structure: standard analysis shows classical SL group velocities S-matrix not analytic. Duality may help
Galileon duality Gauge freedom in how introduce the Stückelberg field A Galileon Maps to another Galileon theory, with different coefficients

Group velocity is: - Not invariant - Has been observed to be SL in the real world - Was computed here classically: Valid till the strong coupling scale Full phase velocity in dual theory Classical phase velocity in dual theory Classical and Quantum phase velocity in free theory
Group vs front velocity The classical group and phase velocities may depend on the field representation and may be SL The Causal structure is dictated by the front velocity The front velocity (and therefore causality) cannot be inferred by a simple classical calculation If the duality was going through at the quantum level one could compute the front velocity in the free theory. Since it is luminal we would infer that the quintic Galileon is actually causal
Classical Causal Structure Galileon coupled to a scalar field c with standard kinetic term The field c propagates luminaly independently of the configuration There are configurations where the Galileon is superluminal c is subluminal compared to the Galileon
Classical Causal Structure In the dual picture, has a standard kinetic term propagates luminaly acquires a non-standard kinetic term and propagates subluminaly
The Classical Causal structure remains preserved Shown for any field configuration, does not rely on plane waves does not rely on vacuum
If a UV completion exists then we should have

Outlook Vainshtein mechanism is a highly non-linear process Need more insight - beyond the SSS -beyond the simplest cubic Galileon Strong Coupling, SL, S-matrix non-analyticity, no Wilsonian UV completion Need a better understanding of the cosmology in models exhibiting the Vainshtein mechanism If there is a resolution behind these issues, the Vainshtein mechanism should play a crucial role
