Perfect fluid brane-world model

By considering 5--dimensional cosmological models with a bulk filled with a perfect fluid and a cosmological constant, we have found regular instantonic solution which is free from any singularity at the origin of the extra--coordinate and describe 5--dimensional asymptotically anti de Sitter wormhole, when the bulk has a topology $R \times S^4$ and is filled with dust and a negative cosmological constant. Compactified brane-world instantons which are built up from such instantonic solution describe either a single brane or a string of branes. Their analytical continuation to the pseudo--Riemannian metric can give rise to either 4-dimensional inflating branes or solutions with the same dynamical behaviour for extra--dimension and branes, in addition to multitemporal solutions. Dust brane-world models with other spatial topologies are also considered.
