Conclusions
Life beyond the conformal coupling: Dφ,µφ,ν
→ don’t be a conformist!
New frames: Galileon & Disformal
Einstein Frame: simpler Eqs. & physical insight
Screening mechanisms:
? Disformal: Dρ→∞ field eq. independent of ρ
? Vainshtein: r � rV ⇒ Fφ � FG
Open questions & potential applications (e.g. Cosmology)
