Anisotropic cosmological dynamics in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity: an example of dynamical compactification in \(7+1\) dimensions (Q2179681)

The authors consider a particular example of dynamical compactification of an anisotropic \(7 + 1\)-dimensional Universe in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Their analytical study considers conditions for compactification scenario. In that scenario the outcome of Universe evolution is exponentially expanding (with the constant Hubble rate \(H\)) large dimensions and stabilized (with the constant size \(b\)) small dimensions. For numerical study they choosen a set of 10 different combinations of coupling constants, all of them satisfy the required condition for compactification. Their numerical results show that all trajectories chosen this way lead to stabilization of the inner dimensions. This means that the model they study admits successful dynamical compactification without fine-tuning.
