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…
In this paper we discuss a physical observable which is drastically different in a brane-world scenario. To date, the Randall-Sundrum model seems to be consistent with all experimental tests of general relativity. Specifically, we examine…
We consider a single 3-brane situated between two bulk spacetimes that posses the same cosmological constant, but whose metrics do not posses a $Z_{2}$-symmetry. On each side of the brane, the bulk is a solution to Gauss-Bonnet gravity.…

Some observational constraints on the brane-world based on predictions from specific models in five dimensions, have been recently reported, both on local and cosmological scales. In order to identify the origins of these constraints, the…
