On two-dimensional gravity
Description
In this paper, the field equations that result from the use of R2-the square of the Ricci scalar-in the gravitational action are studied in two dimensions. Some general features of the model are noted; in particular, the existence of a solution R=Λ. The form of the static vacuum metrics is obtained. The problem of cosmology is discussed
