Instability of scalar perturbation in a phantomic cosmological scenario
Scalar perturbations can grow during a phantomic cosmological phase as the
big rip is approached, in spite of the high accelerated expansion regime, if
the equation of state is such that . It is
shown that such result is independent of the spatial curvature. The perturbed
equations are exactly solved for any value of the curvature parameter and
of the equation of state parameter . Growing modes are found
asymptotically under the condition . Since the Hubble radius
decreases in a phantom universe, such result indicates that a phantom scenario
may not survive longtime due to gravitational instability.Comment: Latex file, 6 page
