IV. Effective equation of state for the universe and thefinite-time future singularities in non-local gravityNo. 26Non-local gravityproduced by quantum effects[Deser and Woodard, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 111301 (2007)]・ It is known that so-called matter instability occurs in F(R) gravity.[Dolgov and Kawasaki, Phys. Lett. B 573, 1 (2003)]This implies that the curvature inside matter sphere becomesvery large and hence the curvature singularity could appear.[Arbuzova and Dolgov, Phys. Lett. B 700, 289 (2011)]It is important to examine whether there exists the curvaturesingularity, i.e., “the finite-time future singularities”in non-local gravity.
