F-stable secondary representations and deformation of F-injectivity

We prove that deformation of F-injectivity holds for local rings $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ that admit secondary representations of $H^i_{\mathfrak{m}}(R)$ which are stable under the natural Frobenius action. As a consequence, F-injectivity deforms when $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay (or more generally when all the local cohomology modules $H^i_{\mathfrak{m}}(R)$ have no embedded attached primes). We obtain some additional cases if $R/\mathfrak{m}$ is perfect or if $R$ is $\mathbb{N}$-graded.
