Critical Combinations of Higher-Order Terms in Einstein-Maxwell Theory and Compactification

We discuss the role of a particular combination of higher derivative terms in higher dimensional theories, particularly in the background of spontaneous compactification. Two classes of theories are proposed in this paper. The first model as a generalization of the critical gravity with the Maxwell...
