We consider brane cosmology when the 4D Ricci scalar term is added to the 5D Einstein-Hilbert action and discuss the role that the addition of this term has on the brane-bulk system. The induced brane dynamics is shown to be the usual…

We derive exact solutions of the Einstein equations in the context of the Randall-Sundrum model with matter on the brane and in the bulk. We present two models in which the brane moves within a time-dependent bulk. We study the cosmological…
The assumption that our Universe is close to a late time fixed point of the equations of cosmology, leads to a modification of the latter to include energy exchange between the matter and the "dark energy". The brane-world scenario provides…
We derive the gauge invariant perturbation equations for a 5-dimensional bulk spacetime in the presence of a brane. The equations are derived in full generality, without specifying a particular energy content of the bulk or the brane. We do…
The general solution for the static, spherical and asymptotically flat braneworld is derived by solving the bulk Einstein equation and braneworld dynamics. We show that it involves a large arbitrariness, which reduces the predictability of…
