We consider a model with two parallel (positive tension) 3-branes separated by a distance $L$ in 5-dimensional spacetime. If the interbrane space is anti-deSitter, or is not precisely anti-deSitter but contains no event horizons, the…
We discuss the stability of the higher-dimensional de Sitter (dS) brane solutions with two-dimensional internal space in the Einstein-Maxwel theory. We show that an instability appears in the scalar-type perturbations with respect to the dS…

We study the cosmological evolution of the closed universe on a spherical probe brane moving in the AdS$_m\times S^n$ background and the near-horizon background of the dilatonic D-branes. The Friedmann equations describing the evolution of…
In the first part of this work we review the equations of motion for the brane presented in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) form, when bulk is five-dimensional (A)dS Black Hole. The spacelike (timelike) FRW brane equations are considered…
We investigate in detail recent suggestions that codimension-two braneworlds in six dimensional supergravity might circumvent Weinberg's no-go theorem for self-tuning of the cosmological constant. The branes are given finite thickness in…
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…
