Cosmic expansion and growth histories in Galileon scalar-tensor models of dark energy

Cosmic expansion and growth histories in Galileon scalar-tensor models of dark energy

We study models of late-time cosmic acceleration in terms of scalar-tensor theories generalized to include a certain class of nonlinear derivative interaction of the scalar field. The nonlinear effect suppresses the scalar-mediated force at short distances to pass solar-system tests of gravity. It is found that the expansion history until …
