We elaborate on the recently proposed static brane world scenario, where the effective 4-D cosmological constant is exponentially small when parallel 3-branes are far apart. We extend this result to a compactified model with two positive…
We propose a brane-world setup based on gauge/gravity duality in which the four-dimensional cosmological constant is set to zero by a dynamical self-adjustment mechanism. The bulk contains Einstein gravity and a scalar field. We study…
We present metric solutions in six and higher dimensions with a bulk cosmological constant, where gravity is localized on a 3-brane. The corrections to four-dimensional gravity from the bulk continuum modes are power-law suppressed.…
The cosmology of a brane-universe embedded in a higher dimensional bulk spacetime presents some peculiarities not seen in ordinary (3+1) dimensional gravity. I summarize the current understanding, with emphasis on the suggestion by Randall…
We study scalar cosmological perturbations in a braneworld model with a bulk Gauss-Bonnet term. For an anti-de Sitter bulk, the five-dimensional perturbation equations share the same form as in the Randall-Sundrum model, which allows us to…
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…
We consider a six dimensional space-time, in which two of the dimensions are compactified by a flux. Matter can be localized on a codimension one brane coupled to the bulk gauge field and wrapped around an axis of symmetry of the internal…
We discuss a Brane World scenario where we live on a 3-brane with massive gravity in infinite-volume bulk. The bulk graviton can be much heavier than the inverse Hubble size, as heavy as the bulk Planck scale, whose lower bound is roughly…
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…
A five dimensional braneworld cosmological model in general scalar-tensor action comprises of various Horndeski Lagrangian is considered. The Friedmann equations in the case of the strongly and weakly coupled $\mathcal{L}_5$ Horndeski…
Generalized Friedmann equations governing the cosmological evolution inside a thick brane embedded in a five-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetime are derived. These equations are written in terms of four-dimensional effective brane…
Recently, Randall and Sundrum proposed a static solution to Einstein's equations in five spacetime dimensions with two 3-branes located at the fixed points of $S^1/Z_2$ to solve the hierarchy problem. We extend the solution and construct…
We discuss the cosmology of a 3-brane embedded in a 5D bulk space-time with a cosmological constant when an intrinsic curvature Ricci scalar is included in the brane action. After deriving the `brane-Friedmann' equations for a Z_2…
In this paper, we present a novel extension of massive gravity theory; the Brane-Chern-Simons massive gravity theory. We explore the cosmological implications of this theory by deriving the background equations and demonstrating the…
Two-branes RS-I 5-dimensional model is generalized in higher dimensional string-induced theory with dilaton and $n$-form field. It is supposed that "hidden" and "visible" Randall-Sundrum branes are located at the boundaries of region of…
We present a non-compact (4 + 1) dimensional model with a local strong four-fermion interaction supplementing it with gravity. In the strong coupling regime it reveals the spontaneous translational symmetry breaking which eventually leads…
We discuss the non-linear gravitational interactions in the Randall-Sundrum single brane model. If we naively write down the 4-dimensional effective action integrating over the fifth dimension with the aid of the decomposition with respect…
The braneworld scenario is studied and the effective action of 3-brane living in 5-dim. Minkowski space is constructed. This action is proved to be invariant under spontaneously broken scale and Weyl symmetries and to encode a model of…
We analyse the general features of localisation of fermions and scalars in smoothed field-theoretical versions of the type 2 Randall- Sundrum braneworld model. A scalar field domain-wall forms the brane, inducing warped gravity, and we…
We study the relationship between space-time-matter (STM) and brane theories. These two theories look very different at first sight, and have different motivation for the introduction of a large extra dimension. However, we show that they…
