Abstract

Opportunity to generate beyond Horndeski interactions is addressed. An amplitude generating a certain beyond Horndeski coupling is explicitly found. The amplitude is free from ultraviolet divergences, so it is protected from ultraviolet contributions and can be considered as a universal prediction of effective field theory.
