چکیده
We investigated the cosmology in a higher-curvature gravity where the dimensionality of spacetime gives rise to only quantitative difference, contrary to Einstein gravity. We found exponential type solutions for flat isotropic and homogeneous vacuum universe for the case in which the higher-curvature term in the Lagrangian density is quadratic in the scalar curvature, ξR 2. The solutions are classified according to the sign of the cosmological constant, Λ, and the magnitude of Λξ. For these solutions 3-dimensional space has a specific feature in that the solutions are independent of the higher curvature term. For the universe filled with perfect fluid, numerical solutions are investigated for various values of the parameter ξ. Evolutions of the universes in different dimensionality of spacetime are compared.

For a spatially flat Friedmann model with line element ds 2 = a 2 [da 2 /B(a) − dx 2 − dy 2 − dz 2 ], the 00-component of the Einstein field equation reads 8πGT 00 = 3/a 2 containing no derivative. For a nonlinear Lagrangian L(R), we obtain a second– order differential equation for B instead of the expected fourth-order equation. We discuss this equation for the curvature-saturated model propos...
