Several quantum mechanical wave equations for $p$-branes are proposed based on the role that the volume-preserving diffeomorphisms group has on the physics of extended objects. The $p$-brane quantum mechanical wave equations determine the…

In braneworld models, Space-Time-Matter and other Kaluza-Klein theories, our spacetime is devised as a four-dimensional hypersurface {\it orthogonal} to the extra dimension in a five-dimensional bulk. We show that the FRW line element can…

We present a new class of non-singular string cosmologies in d space-time dimensions. At very early times, \tau << \tau_c, the Universe is described by a flat \sigma-model metric, a constant maximal temperature T_c and super-weak string…
We study null $p$-branes, $p$-branes with a Carrollian $p+1$-dimensional worldvolume embedded in a generic $D$-dimensional flat Minkowski target space. This theory has a generalized BMS$_{p+1}$ gauge symmetry. By fixing the light-cone…
We construct some new dynamical $p$-brane solutions to gravity theories on curved backgrounds. We discuss the relations between dynamical branes, a new time-dependent solution on complex projective space $\mathbb{C}{\rm P}^n$ and the static…
We propose a Robinson-Trautman evolution in $(2+1)$-dimensional spacetime that retains key structural features of the four-dimensional case. We consider a recently studied exact family of metrics to select a nonstationary geometry with a…
Understanding the early evolution of the universe requires models that incorporate possible quantum and anisotropic effects in its dynamics. In this work, we analyze the dynamical evolution of locally rotationally symmetric anisotropic…
We suggest a mechanism which leads to 3+1 space-time dimensions. The Universe assumed to have nine spatial dimensions is regarded as a special nonlinear oscillatory system -- a kind of Einstein solid. There are p-brane solutions which…
