The chaotic inflationary model of the early universe, proposed by Linde is explored in the brane world considering matter described by a minimally coupled self interacting scalar field. We obtain cosmological solutions which admit evolution…
This talk presents an overview of the brane cosmology scenario, based on the idea that our Universe is a 3-brane embedded in a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter bulk space-time. Special emphasis is put on the novel features of this scenario:…
In brane world scenarios with a bulk scalar field between two branes it is known that 4-dimensional Einstein gravity is restored at low energies on either brane. By using a gauge-invariant gravitational and scalar perturbation formalism we…
A brief review of the field of braneworld cosmology, from its inception with the large extra dimension scenario, to aspects of cosmology in warped extra dimensions, including the RS-I and RS-II models, braneworld inflation, the…
We argue that bouncing branes occur naturally when there is more than one extra-dimension. We consider three-branes embedded in space-times with a horizon and an isometry group SO(6). As soon as the brane angular momentum is large enough, a…
The inflaton potential in four-dimensional theory is rather arbitrary, and fine-tuning is required generically. By contrast, inflation in the brane world scenario has the interesting feature that the inflaton potential is motivated from…
We consider a brane world scenario which arises as the near-horizon region of a non-extremal D5-brane. There is a quasi-localized massive graviton mode, as well as harmonic modes of higher mass which are bound to the brane to a lesser…
Nature harbors crystals of dimensionality ($d$) only up to three. Here we introduce the notion of \emph{projected topological branes} (PTBs): Lower-dimensional branes embedded in higher-dimensional parent topological crystals, constructed…
We study possible effects of Lorentz-violation on the generation of cosmological perturbations at inflation by introducing a simple inflating five-dimensional brane-world setup with violation of four-dimensional Lorentz-invariance at an…
Brane cosmology presents many interesting possibilities including: phantom acceleration (w<-1), self-acceleration, unification of dark energy with inflation, transient acceleration, loitering cosmology, new singularities at which the Hubble…
We describe spontaneous creation of the Brane World in $AdS_{5}$ with external field. The resulting Brane World consists of a flat 4d spatially finite expanding Universe and curved expanding "regulator" branes. No negative tension branes…
We discuss cosmology in four dimensions within a context of brane-world scenario.Such models can predict chaotic inflation with very low reheat temperature depending on the brane tension. We notice that the gravitino abundance is different…
We present a Born-Infeld type theory to describe the evolution of p-branes propagating in an N = (p+2)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The expansion of the BI-type volume element gives rise to the (p+1) Lovelock brane invariants associated…
In braneworld cosmology the expanding Universe is realized as a brane moving through a warped higher-dimensional spacetime. Like a moving mirror causes the creation of photons out of vacuum fluctuations, a moving brane leads to graviton…
A new cosmological solution of the gravitational field equations in the generalized Randall-Sundrum model for an anisotropic brane with Bianchi I geometry and with perfect fluid as matter sources is presented. The matter is described by a…
We study a non-Riemannian modification of 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. In our proposal the Riemannian structure of the five-dimensional manifold is replaced by a Weyl-integrable one. In this context a 4-dimensional Poincar$\grave{e}$…
A brane universe derived from the Randall-Sundrum models is considered in which an additional Misner-like periodicity is introduced in the extra direction. This model solves the ambiguity in the choice of the brane world by identifying the…
A brane world model is investigated, in which there are many branes that may intersect and self intersect. One of the branes, being a 3-brane, represents our spacetime, while the other branes, if they intersect our brane world, manifest…
We consider branes embedded in spacetimes of codimension one and two, with a warped metric tensor for the subspace parallel to the brane. We study a variety of brane-world solutions arising by introducing a Schwarzschild-like black hole…
It has very recently been realized that coupling branes to higher dimensional quantum gravity theories and considering the consistency of what lives on the branes, one is able to understand whether such theories can belong either to the…
