Can Galileons cause violation of the second law of black hole thermodynamics?

Galileons are stable null energy condition (NEC) violating perturbations. If these NEC violating modes are coupled to Einstein gravity, they can cause violation of the second law of black hole thermodynamics. We demonstrate that galileons can only be coupled to quadratic gravity since they are generated by consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of the Einstein-Hilbert-Gauss-Bonnet action from 10-dimensions to 4-dimensions. As a result, the NEC violation of galileons can no longer be the source of the violation of the second law of black hole thermodynamics.
