Improved DHOST Genesis

Abstract

We improve the DHOST Genesis proposed in \cite{Ilyas:2020zcb}, such that the near scale invariant scalar power spectrum can be generated from the model itself, without involking extra mechanism like a string gas. Besides, the superluminality problem of scalar perturbation plagued in \cite{Ilyas:2020zcb} can be rescued by choosing proper DHOST action.
