Critical Combinations of Higher Order Terms in Einstein-Maxwell theory and Compactification

Abstract

We discuss the role of a particular combination of higher derivative terms in higher dimensional theories, especially in the background of spontaneous compactification. We find that the special extension of Einstein-Maxwell theory with higher order terms admits interesting cosmological solutions.
