Multidimensional gravitational model with anisotropic pressure

Abstract

We consider the gravitational model with additional spatial dimensions and anisotropic pressure which is nonzero only in these dimensions. Cosmological solutions in this model include accelerated expansion of the Universe at late age of its evolution and dynamical compactification of extra dimensions. This model describes observational data for Type Ia supernovae on the level or better than the $\Lambda$CDM model. We analyze two equations of state resulting in different predictions for further evolution, but in both variants the acceleration epoch is finite.
