Abstract
We analyze homogeneous, anisotropic cosmology driven by a self-interacting ``massive'' antisymmetric tensor field which is present in string theories with D-branes. Time-dependent magnetic field existing in the early universe can lead to the Bianchi type I universe. Evolutions of such a tensor field are solved exactly or numerically in the universe dominated by vacuum energy, radiation, and field itself. The matter-like behavior of the field (dubbed as ``-matter'') ensures that the anisotropy disappears at late time and thus becomes unobservable in a reasonable cosmological scenario. Such a feature should be contrasted to the cosmology of the conventional massless antisymmetric tensor field.
