Abstract

Abstract We formulate the effective field theory (EFT) of vector-tensor gravity for perturbations around an arbitrary background with a timelike vector profile, which can be applied to study black hole perturbations. The vector profile spontaneously breaks both the time diffeomorphism and the U(1) symmetry, leaving their combination and the spatial diffeomorphism as the residual symmetries in the unitary gauge. We derive two sets of consistency relations which guarantee the residual symmetries of the EFT. Also, we provide the dictionary between our EFT coefficients and those of generalized Proca (GP) theories, which enables us to identify a simple subclass of the EFT that includes the GP theories as a special case. For this subclass, we consider the stealth Schwarzschild(-de Sitter) background solution with a constant temporal component of the vector field and study the decoupling limit of the longitudinal mode of the vector field, explicitly showing that the strong coupling problem arises due to vanishing sound speeds. This is in sharp contrast to the case of gauged ghost condensate, in which perturbations are weakly coupled thanks to certain higher-derivative terms, i.e., the scordatura terms. This implies that, in order to consistently describe this type of stealth solutions within the EFT, the scordatura terms must necessarily be taken into account in addition to those already included in the simple subclass.
