Abstract

In this paper we study the cosmological dynamics of Randall-Sundrum braneworld type scenarios in which the five-dimensional Weyl tensor has a non-vanishing projection onto the three-brane where matter fields are confined. Using dynamical systems techniques, we study how the state space of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) and Bianchi type I scalar field models with an exponential potential is affected by the bulk Weyl tensor, focusing on the differences that appear with respect to standard general relativity and also Randall-Sundrum cosmological scenarios without the Weyl tensor contribution.
