Stability of cosmological solutions in F(R) Horava-Lifshitz gravity

Abstract

At the present paper, it is studied cosmological solutions and its stability in the frame of F(R) Horava-Lifshitz gravity. The perturbations around general spatially flat FRW solutions are analyzed and it is showed that the stability of those solutions will depend on the kind of theory, i.e. on the form of the action F(R), as well as on the parameters contained in any Horava-Lifshitz theory due to the breaking of Lorentz invariance. The (in)stability of a given cosmic solution can restrict the models and gives new observational predictions, and can give a natural explanation on the end of inflation and radiation/matter phases. An explicit example of F(R) is studied, and it is showed that the instability can produce the transition between the different epochs of the Universe history.
