Scalar �elds nonminimally coupled to gravity
Some remarks:
A nonminimal scalar �eld is conformally equivalent to the minimalone possessing some e�ective potential V (�)
A behavior of the scalar �eld is \encoded" in the potential V (�)
The potential V (�) is a very important ingredient of variouscosmological models: a slowly varying potential behaves like ane�ective cosmological constat providing one or more than onein ationary phases.An appropriate choice of V (�) is known as a problem of �ne tuningof the cosmological constant.

Horndeski theory
In 1974, Horndeski derived the action of the most general scalar-tensortheories with second-order equations of motion[G.Horndeski, Second-Order Scalar-Tensor Field Equations in aFour-Dimensional Space, IJTP 10, 363 (1974)]
Horndeski Lagrangian:
LH =p�g (L2 + L3 + L4 + L5)
L2=G2(X;�) ;
L3=G3(X;�)�� ;

Fab Four subclass of the Horndeski theory
There is a special subclass of the theory, sometimes called Fab Four (F4),for which the coe�cients are chosen such that the Lagrangian becomes
LF4 =p�g (LJ + LP + LG + LR � 2�)
with
LJ=VJ(�)G��r��r�� ;
LP=VP (�)P����r��r��r��� ;
LG=VG(�)R ;LR=VR(�) (R����R

���
Fab Four subclass of the Horndeski theory
Fab Four Lagrangian:
LF4 =p�g (LJ + LP + LG + LR � 2�)
The Fab Four model is distinguished by the screening property { it isthe most general subclass of the Horndeski theory in which atspace is a solution, despite the presence of the cosmological term �.
This property suggests that � is actually irrelevant and hence thereis no need to explain its value.
Indeed, however large � is, Minkowski space is always a solution andso one may hope that a slowly accelerating universe will be asolution as well.

Summary. I.
The nonminimal kinetic coupling provides an essentially newin ationary mechanism which does not need any �ne-tunedpotential.
At early cosmological times the coupling �-terms in the �eldequations are dominating and provide the quasi-De Sitter behaviorof the scale factor: a(t) / eH�t with H� = 1=
p9� and � ' 10�74
sec2 (or l� � �1=2 ' 10�27 cm)
The model provides a natural mechanism of epoch change withoutany �ne-tuned potential.
The nonminimal kinetic coupling crucially changes a role of thescalar potential. Power-law and Higgs-like potentials with kineticcoupling provide accelerated regimes of the Universe evolution.

Summary. II.
The theory with nonminimal kinetic coupling admits variouscosmological solutions.
Ghost-free solutions exist if � � 0 and " � 0.
The no-ghost conditions eliminate many solutions, as for examplethe bounces or the \emerging time" solutions.
For � > 0 there exists a ghost-free solution. It describes a universewith the standard late time dynamic dominated by the �-term,radiation and dust. At early times the matter e�ects are totallyscreened and the universe expands with a constant Hubble ratedetermined by "=�. Since it contains two independent parameters �and 0 � � in the asymptotics, this solution can have an hierarchybetween the Hubble scales at the early and late times. However, atlate times it is not screening and dominated by �, thus invokingagain the cosmological constant problem.

Conclusions
For 0 < � < 0 there exist two ghost-free solutions, A and B. Thesolution A is sourced by the scalar �eld, with or without the matter,while the solution B exists only when the matter is present. Theyboth show the screening because their late time behaviour iscontrolled by � � "=� and not by �. Therefore, they could inprinciple describe the late time acceleration while circumventing thecosmological constant problem, and one might probably �ndarguments justifying that "=� should be small. At the same time,these solutions cannot describe the early in ationary phase. Indeed,the near singularity behaviour of the solution B does not correspondto in ation, while the solution A does show an in ationary phase,but with essentially the same Hubble rate as at late times, hencethere is no hierarchy between the two Hubble scales.
