Abstract: A modified theory of gravity with the function F(R)=(1−sqrt1−2lambdaR)/lambda is suggested and analyzed. At small value of the parameter lambda introduced the action is converted into Einstein−Hilbert action. The theory is consistent with local tests which gives a bound on the value of the parameter lambdaleq2imes10−6 cm2. I have considered the Jordan frame as well as the Einstein frame in which the potential of the scalar field was obtained. The static Schwarzschild−de Sitter solutions of the model are obtained and analyzed. It was demonstrated that the de Sitter space is unstable but a solution with zero Ricci scalar is stable. It is shown that there is no matter instability in the proposed model.
