Jc. Fabris et M. Sakellariadou, DENSITY PERTURBATIONS IN KALUZA-KLEIN THEORIES DURING A DE SITTER PHASE, Classical and quantum gravity, 14(3), 1997, pp. 725-733
In the context of Kaluza-Klein theories, we consider a model in which
the universe is filled with a perfect fluid described by a barotropic
equation of state. An analysis of density perturbations employing the
synchronous gauge shows that there are cases where these perturbations
have an exponential growth during a de Sitter phase evolution in the
external space.
