Radion effective potential in brane gas cosmology

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-02-20 v4

Abstract

We consider a cosmological solution which can explain anisotropic evolution of spatial dimensions and the stabilization of extra dimensions in brane gas formalism. We evaluate the effective potentials, induced by brane gas, bulk flux and supergravity particles, which govern the sizes of the observed three and the extra dimensions. It is possible that the wrapped internal volume can oscillate between two turning points or sit at the minimum of the potential while the unwrapped three dimensional volume can expand monotonically. Including the supergravity particles makes the effective potential steeper as the internal volume shrinks.
