摘要
We obtain conditions for the existence and stability of de Sitter attractors in the phase space of homogeneous and isotropic cosmology in generalized theories of gravity (including nonlinear and scalar-tensor theories). These conditions are valid for any form of the coupling functions of the theory. Stability with respect to inhomogeneous perturbations is analyzed using a covariant and gauge-invariant formalism. The relevance for inflationary scenarios of the early universe and for quintessence models of the present era is discussed.
