Expanding Cosmologies in Brane Geometries

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Five dimensional gravity coupled, both in the bulk and on a brane, to a scalar Liouville field yields a geometry confined to a strip around the brane and with time dependent scale factors for the four geometry. In various limits known models can be recovered as well as a temporally expanding four geometry with a warp factor falling exponentially away from the brane. The effective theory on the brane has a time dependent Planck mass and ``cosmological constant''. Although the scale factor expands, the expansion is not an acceleration.
