On the flat spacetime Galileons and the Born–Infeld type structures

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218271815500418Cited by:0 (Source: Crossref)

    We show how the flat spacetime Galileon field theories (FSGFT) in arbitrary dimensions can be obtained through a Born–Infeld (BI) type structure. This construction involves a brane metric and nonlinear combinations of derivatives of a scalar field. Our setup gives rise to some Galileon tensors and vectors useful for the variational analysis which are related to the momentum density of the probe Lovelock branes floating in a N-dimensional flat bulk. We find further that the Noether currents associated to these Galileon theories may be written in terms of such tensors.
