Constraining disformally coupled scalar fields

Light scalar fields can naturally couple disformally to matter fields. Static, nonrelativistic sources do not generate a classical field profile for a disformally coupled scalar, and so such scalars are free from the constraints on the existence of fifth forces that are so restrictive for conformall...
