“Cosmology in generalized Proca theories”

Learned from lessons for constructing healthy and self consistent interactions for massive gravity and scalar-tensor theories, I will construct the Lagrangian of a vector field with derivative self-interactions, that propagates only the 3 desired polarisations associated with a Proca field. I will also discuss some cosmological implications of these generalized Proca theories.
