Eternal acceleration from M-theory (Q2470924)

In the paper the method of scale invariant dynamics to the study of vacuum doubly warped products and their dimensional reduction is applied. The existence of an eternally accelerating solution for \(D\geq 10\) and no eternally accelerating models for \(>10\) is proved. It is shown that eternally accelerating cosmologies cannot be obtained from perturbations of the (dimensionally reduced) D-dimensional Friedmann models.
