Phys. Rev. D 72, 061501(R) (2005) [5 pages]Modified gravity and the stability of de Sitter space
Within the context of modified gravity and dark energy scenarios of the accelerated universe, we study the stability of de Sitter space with respect to inhomogeneous perturbations using a gauge-independent formalism. In modified gravity the stability condition is exactly the same that one obtains from a homogeneous perturbation analysis, while the stability condition in scalar-tensor gravity is more restrictive. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
