Abstract

Considering an anisotropic cosmological background is an interesting and simultaneously challenging problem of theoretical physics, since we not only assume a high degree of anisotropy in the early stages of the Universe, but also observe it to a small degree until now. In this paper we have constructed the unconstrained action for the perturbations above Bianchi I type background in the most general scalar-tensor theory of gravity, the Horndeski theory, and evaluate the effect of the deviation from the anisotropic background on the previously established stable solution obtained in previous works.
