This construction is based on the special nonlocal form of the Einstein-Hilbert action explicitly revealing the fact that this action within the covariant curvature expansion begins with curvature-squared terms.LaTeX, 10 p., talk given at QUARKS-2004, Pushkinskie Gory, Russia, May 2004High Energy Physics - TheoryCosmological constant problem and long-distance modifications of Einstein theorytext
