Stability of the Einstein static universe in modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity
arXiv:0902.2982 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.79.067504
Abstract
We analyze the stability of the Einstein static universe by considering homogeneous perturbations in the context of f(G) modified Gauss-Bonnet theories of gravity. By considering a generic form of f(G), the stability region of the Einstein static universe is parameterized by the linear equation of state parameter w=p/rho and the second derivative f"(G) of the Gauss-Bonnet term.
