The acceleration of the expansion of the universe represents one of the major challenges to our current understanding of fundamental physics. In principle, to explain this phenomenon, at least two different routes may be followed: either…
We consider the cosmological evolution of a bulk scalar field and ordinary matter living on the brane world in the light of the constraints imposed by the matter dominated cosmological evolution and a small cosmological constant now. We…
The Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric with spherical topology is calculated as an effective metric at the brane in a multiple branes in $D-$dimensional spacetime scenario. In this model the radius of the brane is the cosmological scale…
We discuss the cosmological constant problem in the context of higher codimension brane world scenarios with infinite-volume extra dimensions.
We develop a method for constructing exact cosmological solutions in brane world cosmology. New classes of cosmological solutions on Randall-Sandrum brane are obtained. The superpotential and Hubble parameter are represented in quadratures.…
In this article first we present a brief review of some alternative theories of cosmology. Then by referring to some of the main works done in these theories we show that how they can describe the phenomena which are explained nowadays in…
We study axion cosmology in a 5D Universe, in the case of flat and warped extra dimension. The comparison between theoretical predictions and observations constrains the 5D axion decay constant and the 5D Planck mass, which has to be taken…
A brane-world universe consists of a 4-dimensional brane embedded into a 5-dimensional space-time (bulk). We apply the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner decomposition to the brane-world, which results in a 3+1+1 break-up of the bulk. We present the…
I address the issue of spacetime dimensionality within Kaluza-Klein theories and theories with large extra dimensions. I review the arguments explaining the dimensionality of the universe, within the framework of string gas cosmology and…
In the last two decades the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence (AdS/CFT) has emerged as focal point of many research interests. In particular, it functions as a stepping stone to a still missing full quantum theory of…
We show that, under general assumptions, in six-dimensional brane-world models with compactified large extra dimensions, the energy density of brane oscillations scales as that of cold dark matter and its present value is compatible with…
The evolution of a Universe confined onto a 3-brane embedded in a five-dimensional space-time is investigated where the cosmological fluid on the brane is modeled by the van der Waals equation of state. It is shown that the Universe on the…
We consider brane-world models embedded in a five-dimensional bulk spacetime with a large extra dimension and a cosmological constant. The cosmology in $5D$ possesses "wave-like" character in the sense that the metric coefficients in the…
We address the possibility of finding domain wall solutions from cosmological solutions in brane cosmology. We find first-order equations for corresponding cosmology/domain wall solutions induced on 3-branes. The quadratic term of energy…
A simple model of a universe is presented composed of black holes and black branes. It uses the most simplest approximations and models of General Relativity and Quantum Dynamics to offer an idea of an unification and gives a possible…
Universe is considered as a brane in infinite (2+4)-space.It is shown that zero modes of all kinds of matter fields and 4-gravity are localized on the brane by increasing transversal gravitational potential.
We consider spherically symmetric matter configurations on a four dimensional "brane" embedded in a five dimensional $Z_2$-symmetric "bulk". We write the junction conditions between the interior and exterior of these "stars", treat a couple…
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…
We investigate the formation of trapped surfaces in cosmological spacetimes, using constant mean curvature slicing. Quantitative criteria for the formation of trapped surfaces demonstrate that cosmological regions enclosed by trapped…
The cosmology of brane induced gravity in six infinite dimensions is investigated. It is shown that a brane with Friedmann-Robertson-Walker symmetries necessarily acts as a source of cylindrically symmetric gravitational waves, so called…
