New Exact Solutions for a Chiral Cosmological Model in 5D EGB Gravity

Abstract: We consider a chiral cosmological model in the framework of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet cosmology. Using a decomposition of the latter equations in such a way that the first chiral field is responsible for the Einstein part of the model, while the second field together with the kinetic interaction is connected with the Gauss--Bonnet part of the theory, we find new exact solutions for the 2-component chiral cosmological model with and without the kinetic interaction between fields.
