Cosmological stability in f(ϕ,G) gravity

In gravitational theories where a canonical scalar field ϕ with a potential V(ϕ) is coupled to a Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term G with the Lagrangian f(ϕ,G), we study the cosmological stability of tensor and scalar perturbations in the presence of a perfect fluid. We show that, in decelerating cosmological...
