Abstract

In this paper we consider modification of general relativity extending R2ΛR - 2 \Lambda by nonlocal term of the form R2ΛF()R2Λ,\sqrt{R-2\Lambda}\, \mathcal{F}(\Box)\, \sqrt{R-2\Lambda} , where F()\mathcal{F}(\Box) is an analytic function of the d'Alembert operator \Box. We have found some exact cosmological solutions of the corresponding equations of motion without matter and with Λ0\Lambda \neq 0. One of these solutions is a(t)=At23eΛ14t2, a (t) = A \, t^{\frac{2}{3}} \, e^{\frac{\Lambda}{14} t^2} , which imitates properties similar to an interplay of the dark matter and the dark energy. For this solution we calculated some cosmological parameters which are in a good agreement with observations. This nonlocal gravity model has not the Minkowski space solution. We also found several conditions which function F()\mathcal{F}(\Box) has to satisfy.
