Abstract
Canonical formulation for an action containing scalar curvature squared term in arbitrary dimension has been performed in maximally symmetric space-time. The quantum dynamics does not alter significantly from the same in -dimension. Classical solution is also at par with the one presented by Starobinsky. WKB approximation peaks around the classical solution.
