Abstract: The probability for quantum creation of an inflationary universe with a pair of black holes in higher derivative theories has been studied. Considering a gravitational action which includes quadratic (alphaR2) and/or cubic term () in scalar curvature in addition to a cosmological constant (Lambda) in semiclassical approximation with Hartle-Hawking boundary condition, the probability has been evaluated. The action of the instanton responsible for creating such a universe, with spatial section with S1XS2 topology, is found to be less than that with a spatial S3 topology, unless alpha<−frac18Lambda in R2-theory. In the R3 theory, however, there exists a set of solutions without a cosmological constant when and which admit primordial black holes (PBH) pair in an inflationary universe scenario. We note further that when , one gets PBH pairs in the two cases : (i) with alpha and Lambda both positive and (ii) with Lambda positive and alpha negative satisfying a constraint 6|alpha|Lambda>1. However, the relative probability for creation of an inflationary universe with a pair of black holes in the R3-theory suppresses when or . However, if the above constraints are relaxed one derives interesting results leading to a universe with PBH in R3-theory without cosmological constant.
