Composite S-brane solutions on the product of Ricci-flat spaces (Q702858)

In the recent paper [\textit{V. D. Ivashchuk, V. N. Melnikov} and \textit{A. B. Selivanov}, J. High Energy Phys. 2003, 0309059 (2003) (hep-th/0309027)], the authors obtained a family of cosmological solutions with \((n+1)\) Ricci-flat spaces in the theory with several scalar fields and multiple xxponential potential when coupling vectors in the exponents obey certain ``orthogonality'' relations. Two subclasses of ``inflationary-type'' solutions with power-law and exponential behaviour of scale factors were found and solutions with accelerated expansion were singled out. In this paper, the authors consider generalized S-brane solutions with orthogonal intersection rules and \(n\) Ricci-flat factor spaces in the theory with several scalar fields and antisymmetric forms. The authors single out subclasses of solutions with power-law and exponential behaviour of scale factors depending in general on charge densities of branes, their dimensions and intersections, dilatonic couplings and the number of dilatonic fields. These subclasses contain sub-families of solutions with accelerated expansion of certain factor spaces. The authors deal with a model governed by the action \[ S_g= \int d^Dx\sqrt{|g|}\left\{R[g]- h_{\alpha\beta}g^{MN} \partial_M\varphi^{\alpha}\partial_N\varphi^\beta -\sum_{a\in\Delta} \frac{\theta_a}{n_a!} \exp[2\lambda_a(\varphi)](F^a)^2\right\}\tag{1} \] where \(g = g_{MN}(x)\,dx^M\otimes\, dx^N\) is a metric, \(\varphi = (\varphi^\alpha)\in\mathbb R^l\) is a vector of scalar fields, \((h_{\alpha\beta})\) is a constant symmetric non-degenerate \(l\times l\) matrix \((l\in\mathbb N)\), \(\theta_a =\pm1\), \(F^a = dA^a =\frac{1}{n_a!}F^a_{M_1\dots M_{n_a}} dz^{M_1}\wedge\dots\wedge dz^{M_{n_a}}\) is a \(n_a\)-form (\(n_a\geq 1\)), \(\lambda_a\) is a 1-form on \(\mathbb R^l: \lambda_a(\varphi) =\lambda_{\alpha a}\varphi^\alpha\), \(a\in\Delta\), \(\alpha = 1,\dots,l\), \(| g| = | \det(g_{MN})| \), \((F^a)^2_g =F^a_{M_1\dots M_{n_a}} F^a_{N_1\dots N_{n_a}}g^{M_1N_1}\dots g^{M_{n_a}N_{n_a}}\), \(a\in\Delta\). Here \(\Delta\) is some finite set. For pseudo-Euclidean metric of signature \((-,+,\dots,+)\) all \(\theta_a=1\).
