We analyze finite size solutions for a generalized $D$-dimensional Dudas-Mourad (DM) model featuring dynamical cobordism with neutral and charged end-of-the-world (ETW) defect branes. Confirming a dynamical version of the Cobordism…
This thesis will try to contribute to the understanding of open issues in cosmology by considering f(R) and brane-world theories. In Chapter 1, we shall summarize the main features of f(R) gravities in the metric formalism and we shall…
We consider the cosmology that results if our observable universe is a 3-brane in a higher dimensional universe. In particular, we focus on the case where our 3-brane is located at the $Z_2$ symmetry fixed plane of a $Z_2$ symmetric…
The cobordism conjecture implies that consistent theories of Quantum Gravity must admit the introduction of boundaries. We study the dynamical realization of the cobordism conjecture in type IIB in AdS$_5\times \bf{S}^5$, using the existing…
The non-linear behaviour of Randall-Sundrum gravity with one brane is examined. Due to the non-compact extra dimension, the perturbation spectrum has no mass gap, and the long wavelength effective theory is only understood perturbatively.…
If we live on the weak brane with zero effective cosmological constant in a warped 5D bulk spacetime, gravitational waves and brane fluctuations can be generated by a part of the 5D Weyl tensor and carries information of the gravitational…
We study the cosmology of the Randall-Sundrum brane-world where the Einstein-Hilbert action is modified by curvature correction terms: a four-dimensional scalar curvature from induced gravity on the brane, and a five-dimensional…
In this paper, we study the $AdS/BCFT$ construction in $AdS_3$ and the BTZ black hole spacetime. We find a new solution to the equation for the End of the World (EoW) brane. The induced metric on this solution is that of $dS_2$ with an…
In this paper we discuss thermodynamics of apparent horizon of an $n$-dimensional Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe embedded in an $(n+1)$-dimensional AdS spacetime. By using the method of unified first law, we give the explicit…
We discuss physical implications of the four-dimensional effective supergravity, that describes low-energy physics of the Randall--Sundrum model with moduli fields in the bulk and charged chiral matter living on the branes. Cosmological…
A static Friedmann brane in a 5-dimensional bulk (Randall-Sundrum type scenario) can have a very different relation between the density, pressure, curvature and cosmological constant than in the case of the general relativistic Einstein…
We derive the full projected Einstein-Brans-Dicke gravitational equations associated with a n-dimensional brane embedded in a (n+1)-dimensional bulk. By making use of general conditions, as the positivity of the Brans-Dicke parameter and…
We consider the cosmological evolution of a brane in the presence of a bulk scalar field coupled to the Ricci scalar through a term f(\phi)R. We derive the generalized Friedmann equation on the brane in the presence of arbitrary brane and…
We consider a modified gravity fluid on a Randall-Sundrum II brane situated at y=0, the action containing a power \alpha of the scalar curvature. As is known from 4D spatially flat modified gravity, the presence of a bulk viscosity may…
Recently, certain holographic Weyl transformed CFT$_2$ is proposed to capture the main features of the AdS$_3$/BCFT$_2$ correspondence \cite{Basu:2022crn,Basu:2023wmv}. In this paper, by adapting the Weyl transformation, we simulate a…
In this paper we study the creation of brane-worlds in $AdS$ bulk. We first consider the simplest case of onebranes in $AdS_3$. In this case we are able to properly describe the creation of a spherically symmetric brane-world deriving a…
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.…
In this paper we examine cosmological weak lensing on non-linear scales and show that there are Newtonian and relativistic contributions and that the latter can also be extracted from standard Newtonian simulations. We use the…
This work investigates the cosmology of a thick brane within the context of $f(\mathbb{Q})$ gravity, an extension of symmetric teleparallelism. Using a five-dimensional Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker metric, we solve the field…
In this thesis we mainly explore the evolution of both scalar and tensor cosmological perturbations in a Randall-Sundrum braneworld having an arbitrary expansion history. We adopt a four-dimensional perspective in which the localized…
