Brane collisions and braneworld cosmology

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

Recently, we proposed a new braneworld model [GIT] in which the collision of a brane universe and a vacuum bubble coming from the extra-dimension is utilized as a trigger of brane big-bang. In this article, mainly reviewing this model, we briefly summarize cosmological braneworld scenarios in which collision of branes plays an important role.
