Viable f(r) gravity<br />

Viability conditions for F(R) gravity<br />

1. f RR > 0 for hight curvature, which ensures the existence of stable high<br />

curvature regimes, as the matter dominated epoch.<br />

2. 1 + f R > 0, which avoids the appearance of a negative effective gravitational<br />

coupling G eff = G/(1 + f R ), and the anti-gravity regime, implying also<br />

the avoidance of the graviton to turn into a ghost.<br />

3. f R → 0 as R →∞. GR has to be recovered at early times. Together<br />

with f RR > 0, implies f R < 0, and consequently −1
