R + αR n inflation in higher-dimensional space-times

Abstract We generalise Starobinsky’s model of inflation to space-times with D > 4 dimensions, where D − 4 dimensions are compactified on a suitable manifold. The D-dimensional action features Einstein-Hilbert gravity, a higher-order curvature term, a cosmological constant, and potential contribut...
