For the 2-brane Randall-Sundrum model, we calculate the bulk geometry for strong gravity, in the low matter density regime, for slowly varying matter sources. This is relevant for astrophysical or cosmological applications. The warped…
We consider a thick brane model supported by two interacting scalar fields in 7D and 8D general relativity. Using the special type of a potential energy, we obtain numerically the regular asymptotically flat vacuum solutions. A possibility…
The possibility of neutral, brane-like solutions in a higher dimensional setting is discussed. In particular, we describe a supersymmetric solution in six dimensions which can be interpreted as a "three-brane" with a non-compact transverse…
We point out several subtleties arising in brane-world scenarios of cosmological constant cancellation. We show that solutions with curvature singularities are inconsistent, unless the contribution to the effective four-dimentional…
We investigate the stability of the extra dimensions in a warped, codimension two braneworld that is based upon an Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory with a non-vanishing scalar field potential. The braneworld solution has two 3-branes, which…
In this paper, we discuss the time-dependent brane solutions in higher-dimensional supergravity theories. We particularly focus on the dynamical extensions of the intersecting brane solutions involving three branes. We also show that in the…
Brane-world models, where observers are restricted to a brane in a higher-dimensional spacetime, offer a novel perspective on cosmology. I discuss some approaches to cosmology in extra dimensions and some interesting aspects of gravity and…
We consider evolution of compact extra dimensions in cosmology and try to see whether wrapped branes can prevent the expansion of the internal space. Some difficulties of Brandenberger and Vafa mechanism for decompactification are pointed…
A solution to the cosmological constant problem has been proposed in which our universe is a 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime. With a bulk scalar, the field equations admit a Poincare invariant brane solution regardless of the value of…
Five-dimensional cosmological models with two 3-branes and with a buck cosmological constant are studied. It is found that for all the three cases ($\Lambda =0$, $\Lambda >0$, and $\Lambda <0$), the conventional space-time singularity ``big…
We consider cosmological models where the universe, governed by Einstein's equations, is a piece of a five dimensional double-sided anti-de Sitter spacetime (that is, a "$Z_2$-symmetric bulk") with matter confined to its four dimensional…
It has recently been suggested that our universe is a three-brane embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime. In this paper I examine static, spherically symmetric solutions that satisfy the effective Einstein field equations on a brane…
In this paper we consider (n+1)-dimensional cosmological model with scalar field and antisymmetric (p+2)-form. Using an electric composite Sp-brane ansatz the field equations for the original system reduce to the equations for a Toda-like…
In this paper we first derive solutions which can be interpreted as branes wrapping nontrivial curved manifolds, and then study their cosmological implications. We find that at early times the branes tend to shrink the internal manifold,…
In this paper, we study the implementation of brane worlds in type II string theory. Starting with the NS/NS sector of type II string, we first compactify the $(D+d_{+} + d_{-})$-dimensional spacetime, and reduce the corresponding action to…
We investigate a particle physics model in a six-dimensional spacetime, where two extra dimensions form a torus. Particles with Standard Model charges are confined by interactions with a scalar field to four four-dimensional branes, two…
The present article analyses the impact on cosmology, in particular on the evolution of cosmological perturbations, of the existence of extra-dimensions. The model considered here is that of a five-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetime where…
We argue that the cosmological constant problem can be solved in a braneworld model with infinite-volume extra dimensions, avoiding no-go arguments applicable to theories that are four-dimensional in the infrared. Gravity on the brane…
In this brief report, we summarize our recent studies in brane cosmology in both string theory and M-Theory on $S^{1}/Z_{2}$. In such setups, we find that the radion is stable and its mass, with a very conservative estimation, can be of the…
We explore observational constraints on a cosmological brane-world scenario in which the bulk is not empty. Rather, exchange of mass-energy between the bulk and the bane is allowed. The evolution of matter fields to an observer on the brane…
