Description
Disformal transformations are specific deformations of the metric, involving other fields and their derivatives. They have been used to relate different modified gravity models. For instance, mimetic and teleparallel gravities.
We will put forward a geometric formulation of disformal transformations, thereby elucidating the role of the non-metric fields therein. We will also identify key properties for disformal transformations that guarantee physical equivalence between the connected theories.
