The speed of Galileon gravity

We analyse the speed of gravitational waves in coupled Galileon models with an equation of state ωphgr=−1 now and a ghost-free Minkowski limit. We find that the gravitational waves propagate much faster than the speed of light unless these models are small perturbations of cubic Galileons and the Ga...
