The motion of a compact body in space and time is commonly described by the world line of a point representing the instantaneous position of the body. In General Relativity such a world-line formalism is not quite straightforward because of…
We found Lagrangian action which describes spinning particle on the base of non-Grassmann vector and involves only one auxiliary variable. It provides the right number of physical degrees of freedom and yields generalization of the Frenkel…
The cosmological two brane model is discussed in detail. An elegant method for deriving the generalised non-linear equations for the interbrane distance is presented. These equations are used to identify equilibrium positions of the radion,…
Two approaches to the study of cosmological perturbations in the brane-world scenario are compared: the first uses the 5D equations directly whereas the second approach projects them onto the 4D brane and then uses the effective 4D…
The question how an $M$-dimensional extended object must be shaped so that a rigid motion gives an $M$-brane solution ($M+1$ dimensional timelike zero mean curvature surface) in $M+2$ dimensional Minkowski space is discussed for closed…
A very large extra dimension may contain many localized branes. We discuss the possibility to formulate such models as a spin system where each spin indicates the supersymmetry direction preserved by the corresponding brane. In the…
We consider ``brane universe'' with nonzero tension in the models with large extra dimensions. We find exact solutions of higher-dimensional Einstein equations with single flat Minkowsky brane of arbitrary large tension (or brane…
We study the case of brane world models with an additional Gauss-Bonnet term in the presence of a bulk scalar field which interacts non-minimally with gravity, via a possible interaction term of the form $-1/2 \xi R \phi^2$. The Einstein…
New reparametrisation invariant field equations are constructed which describe $d$-brane models in a space of $d+1$ dimensions. These equations, like the recently discovered scalar field equations in $d+1$ dimensions, are universal, in the…
In brane-world models with low tension, the fluctuations of the brane along the extra dimensions (branons) are the only relevant new low-energy modes. Such branon fields are in general massive, stable and weakly interacting, and accordingly…
We study the bound states of brane/antibrane systems by examining the motion of a probe antibrane moving in the background fields of N source branes. The classical system resembles the point-particle central force problem, and the orbits…
We consider an anisotropic brane world with Bianchi type I and V geometries where the mechanism of confining the matter on the brane is through the use of a confining potential. The resulting equations on the anisotropic brane are modified…
A precise form of the time evolution of rolling tachyons corresponding to a brane-antibrane pair is investigated by solving the Hamiltonian equations of motion under the assumption that in a region far away from branes the tachyon vacuum is…
In this note we reconsider linearised metric perturbations in the one-brane Randall-Sundrum Model. We present a simple formalism to describe metric perturbations caused by matter perturbations on the brane and remedy some misconceptions…
Current universe (assumed here to be normal matter on the brane) is pressureless from observations. In this case the energy condition is $\rho_0\geq0$ and $p_0=0$. By using this condition, brane models can be distinguished. Then, assuming…
Recent interest in brane world models motivates the investigation of generic first order dilaton gravity actions, with potentials having some non-smoothness. We consider two different types of \delta-like contributions in the action and…
We investigate maximally symmetric brane world solutions with a scalar field. Five-dimensional bulk gravity is described by a general lagrangian which yields field equations containing no higher than second order derivatives. This includes…
Models with extra dimensions have attracted much interest recently because they may provide the solution for long standing problems in physics. One interesting and very attractive idea is that our visible universe is confined to a…
