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 explore the features of a thick braneworld model in five dimensions governed by a Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a non-minimal coupling to a dynamical scalar field. We consider two possible scalar-GB coupling function $\chi(\phi)$,…
We investigate the modified $F(R)$ gravity theory with the function $F(R) = (1-\sqrt{1-2\lambda R-\sigma (\lambda R)^2})/\lambda$. The action is converted into Einstein$-$Hilbert action at small values of $\lambda$ and $\sigma$. The local…

We consider the four dimensional discontinuity generated by two identical pieces of a five dimensional space pasted along their edge (that is a "brane" in a "$Z_2$-symmetric" "bulk"). Using a four plus one decomposition of the Riemann…
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…
We discuss observational constrains coming from supernovae imposed on the behaviour of the Randall-Sundrum models. The data indicates that, under the assumption that we admit zero pressure dust matter on the brane, the cosmological constant…
We propose a fundamental duality between the geometric properties of spacetime and the informational content of quantum fields. Specifically, we establish that the curvature of spacetime is directly related to the entanglement entropy of…
A modified theory of gravity with the function $F(R) = R\exp(\alpha R)$ instead of Ricci scalar $R$ in the Einstein$-$Hilbert action is considered and analyzed. The action of the model is converted into Einstein$-$Hilbert action at small…
Bekenstein has obtained is an upper limit on the entropy S, and from that, an information number bound N is deduced. In other words, this is the information contained within a given finite region of space that includes a finite amount of…
We study the properties of gravity and bulk fields living in a torsion warped braneworld. The torsion is driven by a background vector whose norm provides a source for the bulk cosmological constant. For a vector as the derivative of a…
We investigate brane-world models in different viable $F(R)$ gravity theories where the Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the curvature scalar. Deriving the warped metric for this model, resembling Randal-Sundrum (RS) like solutions,…
