On stable exponential cosmological solutions in the EGB model with a cosmological constant in dimensions D = 5, 6, 7, 8

Аннотация

A D-dimensional Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB) flat cosmological model with a cosmological constant Λ is considered. We focus on solutions with an exponential time dependence of the scale factor. Using the previously developed general stability analysis of such solutions by V.D. Ivashchuk (2016), we apply the criterion from that paper to all known exponential solutions up to the dimension 7 + 1. We show that this criterion, which guarantees the stability of solutions under consideration, is fulfilled for all combinations of the coupling constant of the theory except for some discrete set.
