摘要

We explore the stability properties of multifield solutions in the presence of a perfect fluid, as appropriate to assisted quintessence scenarios. We show that the stability condition for multiple fields phi(i) in identical potentials V(i) is simply d(2)V(i)/d phi(2)(i) > 0, exactly as in the absence of a fluid. A possible new instability associated with the fluid is shown not to arise in situations of cosmological interest.
