Jul 2, 2014 at 12:36 comment added mastrok I guess you have a sign problem since a stable field $\phi=const$ should give negative $w=p/\rho$.

I solved the problem. I have the solution for those who might find it useful.

Jul 2, 2014 at 5:50 comment added user10851 btw, the upper/lower split indices on the metric are always $g^\mu_\nu = \delta^\mu_\nu$ by definition (no negative signs, no matter your sign convention)
Jul 2, 2014 at 5:30 comment added titanium I have just edited the original question. $T_{\mu\nu}$ is isotropic because $phi$ only depends on $t$, and f is a function of $\phi$ and $\dot{\phi}$. Sorry for the confusion.

Jul 2, 2014 at 4:50 comment added mastrok You have assume that $T_{\mu\nu}$ is isotropic. However, this is not always true for arbitrary functional form $f$ of $\phi$ and $\partial_{\mu} \phi$.
