Abstract: A (n+1)-dimensional cosmological model with a set of scalar fields and antisymmetric (p+2)-form is considered. Some of scalar fields may have negative kinetic terms, i.e. they may describe ``phantom fields. For certain odd dimensions (D = 4m+1 = 5, 9, 13, ...) and (p+2)-forms (p = 2m-1 = 1, 3, 5, ...) and non-exceptional dilatonic coupling vector $veclambda$ we obtain cosmological-type solutions to the field equations. These solutions are characterized by self-dual or anti-self-dual charge density forms Q (of rank 2m) and may describe the maximal set of branes (i.e. when all the branes have non-zero charge densities). Some properties of these solutions are considered, e.g. Kasner-like behavior, the existence of non-singular (e.g. bouncing) solutions and those with acceleration. The solutions with bouncing and acceleration take place when at least there is one ``phantom field in the model.

Review text

In the paper an \((n+1)\)-dimensional gravitational model with a set of \(l\) scalar fields an antisymmetric form field of rank \(p+2\) are studied. It is shown that the initial model can be reduced to an effective 1-dimensional \(\sigma\)-model. For special odd dimensions and a non-exceptional dilatonic coupling exact cosmological solutions are found. The special solution, describing an attractor power-law expansion, is singled out. An asymptotic Kasner type behaviour of the solutions for small and large values of proper time is found.
