High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v3

Abstract

A subclass of recently discovered class of solutions in multidimensional gravity with intersecting p-branes related to Lie algebras and governed by a set of harmonic functions is considered. This subclass in case of three Euclidean p-branes (one electric and two magnetic) contains a cosmological-type solution (in 11-dimensional model with two 4-forms) related to hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra F3{\cal F}_3 (of rank 3). This solution describes the non-Kasner power-law inflation.
