Jeans instability in non-minimal matter-curvature coupling gravity
Cláudio Gomes
Abstract
Abstract The weak field limit of the nonminimally coupled Boltzmann equation is studied, and relations between the invariant Bardeen scalar potentials are derived. The Jean’s criterion for instabilities is found through the modified dispersion relation. Special cases are scrutinised and considerations on the model parameters are discussed for Bok globules.
