摘要
We show that in single scalar field models of the dark energy with equations of state satisfying w p/rho < - 1, the effective Lagrangian for fluctuations about the homogeneous background has a wrong sign spatial kinetic term. In most cases, spatial gradients are ruled out by microwave background observations. The sign of w + I is not connected to the sign of the time derivative kinetic term in the effective Lagrangian.
