Description
We investigate the possibility of addressing the cosmological constant problem through a self-tuning mechanism within the framework of beyond Horndeski theory. In particular, we propose a cosmological scenario in which self-tuning operates during inflation but switches off prior to reheating, while leaving behind the correct dark energy density. Furthermore, we explore the use of self-tuning in the context of Kaluza–Klein compactification of the five-dimensional Horndeski theory.
