1/Rmultidimensional gravity with form-fields: Stabilization of extra dimensions, cosmic acceleration, and domain walls

Abstract: We study multidimensional gravitational models with scalar curvature nonlinearity of the type 1/R and with form-fields (fluxes) as a matter source. It is assumed that the higher dimensional spacetime undergoes Freund-Rubin-like spontaneous compactification to a warped product manifold. It is shown that for certain parameter regions the model allows for a freezing stabilization of the internal space near the positive minimum of the effective potential which plays the role of the positive cosmological constant. … Show more

“…In a scale-invariant realization of the theory, a scalar potential acquires two flat regions in such a way that both inflation and dark energy may emerge [50,51]. Forms, being intrinsically anisotropic, could also be relevant for a dynamical origin of the four large dimensions [52,53,54], modeling violation of the Lorenz invariance [55,56,57,58,59,60], the observed CMB anomalies [61,62,63,64,65] or testable late-time anisotropic phenomenology [66,67,68,69,70].…”

“…It is indeed appealing to study models which combine both approaches, in other words, to consider nonlinear f (R) models in multidimensional space-time. As regards the cosmological aspects, such models were investigated in [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], where the authors focused mainly on the problems of internal space stabilization, early and late time accelerated expansion of the Universe and dark matter in the form of gravexcitons/radions. To be viable candidates, these models are required to satisfy the gravitational tests carried out in the Solar system, viz., the deflection of light, time delay of radar echoes and perihelion shift.…”

“…Such modification of gravity may result in the late-time acceleration of our Universe [12]. Nonlinear models with polynomial as well as R −1 -type correction terms have also been generalized to the multidimensional case (see e.g., [10,11,[13][14][15][16][17][18]).…”
