A new mechanism for freezing extra dimensions with higher-order curvature terms

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2020-10-21 v1

Abstract

We construct a model of higher dimensional cosmology in which extra dimensions are frozen by virtue of the cubic-order Lovelock gravity throughout the cosmic history from inflation to the present with radiation and matter-dominated regimes in between.
