We use the Type Ia Supernova gold sample to constrain the parameters of dark energy models namely the Cardassian, Dvali-Turner (DT) and generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) models. In our best fit analysis for these dark energy proposals we…
The self-accelerating braneworld model (DGP) can be tested from measurements of the expansion history of the universe and the formation of structure. Current constraints on the expansion history from supernova luminosity distances, the CMB,…
We perform cosmological N-body simulations of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld model, by solving the full non-linear equations of motion for the scalar degree of freedom in this model, the brane bending mode. While coupling…
The existence of inhomogeneities in the observed Universe modifies the distance-redshift relations thereby affecting the results of cosmological tests in comparison to the ones derived assuming spatially uniform models. By modeling the…
We re-examine the contentious question of constraints on anisotropic expansion from Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) in the light of a novel determination of peculiar velocities, which are crucial to test isotropy with supernovae out to distances…
The braneworld model proposed by Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati (DGP) leads to an accelerated universe without cosmological constant or other form of dark energy for the positive branch $(\epsilon =+1)$. For the negative branch $(\epsilon…
A phenomenological extension of the well-known brane-world cosmology of Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati (eDGP) has recently been proposed. In this model, a cosmological-constant-like term is explicitly present as a non-vanishing tension sigma…
Applying the definition of the turnaround radius and the fact that the best agreement with observational data on extragalactic scales is currently provided by general relativity with the cosmological constant we consider the behaviour of…
Using the data coming from the new 182 Gold type Ia supernova samples, the baryon acoustic oscillation measurement from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the H(z) data, we have performed a statistical joint analysis of the DGP brane-world…
Large extra dimensions provide interesting extensions of our parameter space for gravitational theories. There exist now brane models which can perfectly reproduce standard four-dimensional Friedmann cosmology. These models are not…
Explanations to the accelerated expansion of the Universe are usually sought either in modifications of Einstein gravity or in new forms of energy density. An example of modified gravity is the braneworld Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) model…
We detail the global structure of the five-dimensional bulk for the cosmological evolution of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworlds. The picture articulated here provides a framework and intuition for understanding how metric perturbations…

A proposal to study the original and new agegraphic dark energy in DGP braneworld cosmology is presented in this work. To verify our model with the observational data, the model is constrained by a variety of independent measurements such…
Generalised Complex Geometry provides a natural interpretation of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry conditions for warped solutions of type II supergravity as differential equations on polyforms on the internal manifold. Written in this…
We study classes of D-branes embedded in various AdS^m x S^n x S^p x T^q backgrounds, which nontrivially mix the target-space submanifolds. Mixing is achieved either via diagonal geometric embedding or through a mixed worldvolume flux which…
We use the distance sum rule (DSR) method to constrain the spatial curvature of the Universe with a large sample of 161 strong gravitational lensing (SGL) systems, whose distances are calibrated from the Pantheon compilation of type Ia…
The normal branch of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworld gravity with brane tension is confronted by the currently available cosmic observations from the geometrical and dynamical perspectives. On the geometrical side, the type Ia supernova…
As is well known, classical General Relativity does not constrain the topology of the spatial sections of our Universe. However, the Brane-World approach to cosmology might be expected to do so, since in general any modification of the…
By combining the first year data from the Supernova Legacy Survey (SN LS) and the recent detection of the baryon acoustic peak in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, we are able to place strong constraints on models where the cosmic…
