Curvature scalar instability in f(R) gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
An instability in the presence of matter in theories of gravity which include a 1/R correction in the gravitational action has been found by Dolgov and Kawasaki. In the present paper this instability is discussed for f(R) gravity in general. We focus on the Palatini formalism of the theory and it is shown that no such instability occurs in this version of f(R) gravity. The reasons for the appearance of the instability in the metric but not in the Palatini formalism are fully investigated.

Correspondence between the first and the second order formalism in the generalized gravity of f (R)-type Abstract We clarify the correspondence between the first order formalism and the second order formalism in the generalized gravity where the Lagrangian density is given by a function of the scalar curvature f (R). Introduction: Up to the present, our knowledge of the universe has become wide...

متن کاملInflation from N-Forms and its stability
We investigate whether inflation, either isotropic or anisotropic, may be supported by n-forms. Canonical field strengths and their duals are taken into account, and they are allowed to have a potential and also, when necessary for slow-roll, a nonminimal curvature coupling. New isotropic solutions are found for three-forms. It is also shown that some n-form actions are equivalent to f(R) gravi...
