Primordial cosmological perturbations are the seeds that were cultivated by inflation and the succeeding dynamical processes, eventually leading to the current Universe. In this work, we investigate the behavior of the gauge-invariant scalar and tensor perturbations under the general extended disformal transformation, namely, $g_{mu u} rightarrow A(X,Y,Z)g_{mu u} + Phi_muPhi_ u$, where $X equiv -tfrac{1}{2}phi^{;mu}phi_{;mu}, Y equiv phi^{;mu}X_{;mu}, Z equiv X^{;mu}X_{;mu} $ and $Phi_mu equiv Cphi_{;mu} + DX_{;mu}$, with $C$ and $D$ being a general functional of $(phi,X,Y,Z)$. We find that the tensor perturbation is invariant under this transformation. On the other hand, the scalar curvature perturbation receives a correction due the conformal term only; it is independent of the disformal term at least up to linear order. Within the framework of the full Horndeski theory, the correction terms turn out to depend linearly on the gauge-invariant comoving density perturbation and the first time-derivative thereof. In the superhorizon limit, all these correction terms vanish, leaving only the original scalar curvature perturbation. In other words, it is invariant under the general extended disformal transformation in the superhorizon limit, in the context of full Horndeski theory. Our work encompasses a chain of research studies on the transformation or invariance of the primordial cosmological perturbations, generalizing their results under our general extended disformal transformation.

We study disformal transformations of the metric in the cosmological context. We first consider the disformal transformation generated by a scalar field $phi$ and show that the curvature and tensor perturbations on the uniform $phi$ slicing, on which the scalar field is homogeneous, are non-linearly invariant under the disformal transformation. Then we discuss the transformation properties of the evolution equations for the curvature and tensor perturbations at full non-linear order in the context of spatial gradient expansion as well as at linear order. In particular, we show that the transformation can be described in two typically different ways: one that clearly shows the physical invariance and the other that shows an apparent change of the causal structure. Finally we consider a new type of disformal transformation in which a multi-component scalar field comes into play, which we call a multi-disformal transformation. We show that the curvature and tensor perturbations are invariant at linear order, and also at non-linear order provided that the system has reached the adiabatic limit.
We study the frame dependence/independence of cosmological observables under disformal transformations, extending the previous results regarding conformal transformations, and provide the correspondence between Jordan-frame and Einstein-frame variabl es. We consider quantities such as the gravitational constant in the Newtonian limit, redshift, luminosity and angular diameter distances, as well as the distance-duality relation. Also, the Boltzmann equation, the observed specific intensity, and the adiabaticity condition are discussed. Since the electromagnetic action changes under disformal transformations, photons in the Einstein frame no longer propagate along null geodesics. As a result, several quantities of cosmological interest are modified. Nevertheless, we show that the redshift is invariant and the distance-duality relation (the relation between the luminosity distance and the angular diameter distance) still holds in general spacetimes even though the reciprocity relation (the relation between two geometrical distances) is modified.
We study thermodynamics in $f(R)$ gravity with the disformal transformation. The transformation applied to the matter Lagrangian has the form of $g_{m } = A(phi,X)g_{m } + B(phi,X)pa_mfpa_ f$ with the assumption of the Minkowski matter metric $g_{m } = e_{m }$, where $phi$ is the disformal scalar and $X$ is the corresponding kinetic term of $phi$. We verify the generalized first and second laws of thermodynamics in this disformal type of $f(R)$ gravity in the Friedmann-Lema^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe. In addition, we show that the Hubble parameter contains the disformally induced terms, which define the effectively varying equations of state for matter.
We analyse cosmological perturbations around a homogeneous and isotropic background for scalar-tensor, vector-tensor and bimetric theories of gravity. Building on previous results, we propose a unified view of the effective parameters of all these th eories. Based on this structure, we explore the viable space of parameters for each family of models by imposing the absence of ghosts and gradient instabilities. We then focus on the quasistatic regime and confirm that all these theories can be approximated by the phenomenological two-parameter model described by an effective Newtons constant and the gravitational slip. Within the quasistatic regime we pinpoint signatures which can distinguish between the broad classes of models (scalar-tensor, vector-tensor or bimetric). Finally, we present the equations of motion for our unified approach in such a way that they can be implemented in Einstein-Boltzmann solvers.

We investigate how physical quantities associated with relativistic stars in the Jordan and Einstein frames are related by the generalized disformal transformations constructed by the scalar and vector fields within the slow-rotation approximation. W e consider the most general scalar disformal transformation constructed by the scalar field, and by the vector field without and with the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, respectively. At the zeroth order of the slow-rotation approximation, by imposing that both the metrics of the Jordan and Einstein frames are asymptotically flat, we show that the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass is frame invariant. At the first order of the slow-rotation approximation, we discuss the disformal transformations of the frame-dragging function, angular velocity, angular momentum, and moment of inertia of the star. We show that the angular velocity of the star is frame invariant in all the cases. While the angular momentum and moment of inertia are invariant under the scalar disformal transformation, they are not under the vector disformal transformation without and with the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry.
