Cosmological tensor perturbations in the Randall-Sundrum model: evolution in the near-brane limit

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We discuss the evolution of cosmological tensor perturbations in the RSII model. In Gaussian normal coordinates the wave equation is non-separable, so we use the near-brane limit to perform the separation and study the evolution of perturbations. Massive excitations, which may also mix, decay outside the horizon which could lead to some novel cosmological signatures.
