We consider domain walls embedded in curved backgrounds as an approximation for braneworld scenarios. We give a large class of new exact solutions, exhausting the possibilities for describing one and two walls for the cases where the…
In the brane-world scenario, our universe is understood as a three dimensional hypersurface embedded in a higher dimensional space-time. The fluctuations of the brane along the extra dimensions are seen from the four-dimensional point of…
We study the dynamics near finite-time singularities of flat isotropic universes filled with two interacting but otherwise arbitrary perfect fluids. The overall dynamical picture reveals a variety of asymptotic solutions valid locally…
We describe the asymptotic behaviour and the stability properties of the solutions to a second order rational difference equation.
We present a model with an infinite volume bulk in which a braneworld with a cosmological constant evolves to a static, 4-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. This evolution occurs for a generic class of initial conditions with positive energy…
In this paper, we show the existence of a timelike minimal surface with an arbitrary number of weak complete ends. Then, we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of the simple ends and the topology of the singularity set of the constructed…
We consider (thin) braneworlds with conical singularities in six-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a bulk cosmological constant. The Gauss-Bonnet term is necessary in six dimensions for including non-trivial brane matter. We…
Braneworld models with induced gravity exhibit phantom-like behaviour of the effective equation of state of dark energy. They can, therefore, naturally accommodate higher values of $H_0$, preferred by recent local measurements, while…
Dynamical system techniques are extremely useful to study cosmology. It turns out that in most of the cases, we deal with finite isolated fixed points corresponding to a given cosmological epoch. However, it is equally important to analyse…
Braneworld models were firstly proposed as a great alternative for the hierarcy problem of particle physics, by allowing gravitons, differently from the other interacting bosons, to propagate through an extradimensional space named bulk. As…
We investigate the cosmological solutions in closed bosonic string theory in the presence of non zero tachyon condensate. We specifically obtain time dependent solutions which describe an anisotropic universe. We also discuss the nature of…
The recent discovery of an explicit dynamical description of p-branes makes it possible to investigate the existence of intersection of such objects. We generalize the solutions depending on the overall transverse space coordinates and time…
Two approaches to the study of cosmological perturbations in the brane-world scenario are compared: the first uses the 5D equations directly whereas the second approach projects them onto the 4D brane and then uses the effective 4D…
We present the results of a systematic investigation of the qualitative behaviour of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) and Bianchi I and V cosmological models in Randall-Sundrum brane-world type scenarios.
This paper is a collection of recent results on discrete-time and continuous-time branching random walks. Some results are new and others are known. Many aspects of this theory are considered: local, global and strong local survival, the…
The braneworld theory appear with the purpose of solving the problem of the hierarchy of the fundamental interactions. The perspectives of the theory emerge as a new physics, for example, deviation of the law of Newton's gravity. One of the…
