Mimetic gravity as DHOST theories
read the original abstract
We show that theories of mimetic gravity can be viewed as degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories that admit an extra local (gauge) symmetry in addition to the usual diffeomorphism invariance. We reformulate and classify mimetic theories in this perspective. Using the effective theory of dark energy, recently extended to include DHOST theories, we then investigate the linear perturbations about a homogeneous and isotropic background for all mimetic theories. We also include matter, in the form of a $k$-essence scalar field, and we derive the quadratic action for linear perturbations in this case.

Fragility of stealth solutions in mimetic gravity
Stealth solutions in mimetic gravity decouple from background dynamics on the lambda=0 branch but impose an infinite hierarchy of constraints on perturbations, rendering the screening limit non-uniform and pathological.

Gravitational wave constraints on the Paneitz operator
The Paneitz operator in 4D belongs to extended mimetic gravity and is constrained by gravitational wave propagation speed.

Radial Perturbations of Black Holes in DHOST Theories
Radial perturbations of black holes with primary hair in DHOST theories are rewritten as a flat radial wave equation whose positive self-adjoint extension guarantees stability of the monopole mode.

Imperfect dark matter with higher derivatives
Higher-derivative extension of dark matter yields an imperfect fluid that matches pressureless dust on homogeneous backgrounds but generates acceleration and vorticity to avoid caustic singularities in inhomogeneous c...

Quintom Model Perturbations
A two-field quintom model reproduces w0waCDM perturbation features and is mildly favored over it in Bayesian fits to BAO, CMB, and SNIa data.

A short review on Quintom dark energy theory
