Mathematical Formulation of the No-Go Theorem in Horndeski Theory

We present a brief mathematical-like formulation of the no-go theorem, useful for bouncing and wormhole solutions in Horndeski theory. The no-go theorem is almost identical in the cases of flat FLRW geometry and static, spherically symmetric setting, hence, we generalize the argument of the theorem...

Description
Summary:We present a brief mathematical-like formulation of the no-go theorem, useful for bouncing and wormhole solutions in Horndeski theory. The no-go theorem is almost identical in the cases of flat FLRW geometry and static, spherically symmetric setting, hence, we generalize the argument of the theorem so that it has consise and universal form. We also give a strict mathematical proof of the no-go argument.
