No-go theorem for inflation in Ricci-inverse gravity

Abstract

We study a recent proposed Ricci-inverse gravity, which is a very novel type of fourth-order gravity. In particular, we are able to figure out both isotropically and anisotropically inflating universes to this model. More interestingly, these solutions are free from a singularity problem. However, stability analysis based on the dynamical system method shows that both isotropic and anisotropic inflation of this model turn out to be unstable against field perturbations. This result implies a no-go theorem for both isotropic and anisotropic inflation in the Ricci-inverse gravity.
