Exact solutions in two-dimensional metric $f(R)$-gravity

Abstract

In this paper we consider the two-dimensional metric $f(R)$-gravity model for the metric tensor depending on two variable: time and one spacelike coordinate. We obtain exact analytical vacuum solutions for different forms of function $ f(R) $ which are solutions of cosmological type. These solutions are expressed in terms of arbitrary functions, which, under certain conditions, can be chosen as new variables.
