Abstract

We study DD-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravitational model including the Gauss-Bonnet term and the cosmological term Λ\Lambda. We find a class of solutions with exponential time dependence of two scale factors, governed by two Hubble-like parameters H>0H >0 and hh, corresponding to factor spaces of dimensions m>2m >2 and l>2l > 2, respectively. These solutions contain a fine-tuned Λ=Λ(x,m,l,α)\Lambda = \Lambda (x, m, l, \alpha), which depends upon the ratio h/H=xh/H = x, dimensions of factor spaces mm and ll, and the ratio α=α2/α1\alpha = \alpha_2/\alpha_1 of two constants (α2\alpha_2 and α1\alpha_1) of the model. The master equation Λ(x,m,l,α)=Λ\Lambda(x, m, l,\alpha) = \Lambda is equivalent to a polynomial equation of either fourth or third order and may be solved in radicals. The explicit solution for m=lm = l is presented in Appendix. Imposing certain restrictions on xx, we prove the stability of the solutions in a class of cosmological solutions with diagonal metrics. We also consider a subclass of solutions with small enough variation of the effective gravitational constant GG and show the stability of all solutions from this subclass.
