Description

For the non-tachyonic curvature squared action we show that the expanding Bianchi-type I models tend to the dust-filled Einstein-de Sitter model for t tending to infinity if the metric is averaged over the typical oscillation period. Applying a conformal equivalence between curvature squared action and a minimally coupled scalar field (which holds for all dimensions > 2) the problem is solved by discussing a massive scalar field in an anisotropic cosmolog
