We study the cosmology of a two-brane model in a five-dimensional spacetime, where the extra spatial coordinate is compactifed on an orbifold. Additionally, we consider the existence on each brane of matter fields that evolve in time.…
We study the thermodynamics of some cosmological models based on modified gravity, a braneworld with induced gravity and curvature effect. Dark energy component seems necessary if the models are to approach thermal equilibrium in the long…
It is postulated that the action of the FRW-universe is the cosmological term of Einsteins theory (no curvature term - R0 Cosmology). The expansion equation emerging from the embedding of this most simple brane world with variable speed of…
We propose an interpretation for the cosmological constant problem based on modeling the universe as a 3-brane embedded in the bulk of 5-dimensional supergravity with hypermultiplets. When solving the modified Friedmann equations the…
Recently, the self-tuning mechanism of cancellation of vacuum energy has been proposed in which our universe is a flat 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime. In this letter, the self-tuning mechanism of dark energy is proposed by considering…
We study brane-world models and demonstrate that such models do not admit self-similar solutions through the matter collineation approach. By introducing the hypothesis of variable brane tension, $\lambda,$ we outline the new effective…
We consider a D3-brane as boundary of a five dimensional charged anti de Sitter black hole. We show that the charge of the black hole induces a regular cosmological evolution for the scale factor of the brane, with a smooth transition…
The main cosmological models on the brane are presented. A generic equation is given, from which the Friedmann equations of the Randall-Sundrum, induced gravity, Gauss-Bonnet and the combined induced gravity and Gauss-Bonnet cosmological…
The gravitational properties of cosmic strings in the Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario are investigated. Using a gauge in which the brane remains straight, the leading order corrections to the metric on the brane are determined. In…
We construct a cosmological model based on a free particle model which is constrained on an embedded toroidal brane, with a general rotation around a specific axis in the bulk space. Some related issues such as the rotation axis of the…
In self-tuning brane-world models with extra dimensions, large contributions to the cosmological constant are absorbed into the curvature of extra dimensions and consistent with flat 4d geometry. In models with conventional Lagrangians…
We obtain a \textit{novel} model of oscillating non-singular cosmology on the spatially flat Randall-Sundrum (RS) II brane. At early times, the universe is dominated by a scalar field with an inflationary emergent potential…
The theories of brane world and multidimensional gravity are widely discussed in the literature in connection with problems of evolution of early Universe, including dark matter and energy. A natural physical concept is that a distinguished…
It has been suggested that codimension-two braneworlds might naturally explain the vanishing of the 4D effective cosmological constant, due to the automatic relation between the deficit angle and the brane tension. To investigate whether…
We discuss the four-dimensional cosmological constant problem in a five-dimensional setting. A scalar field coupled to the SM forms dynamically a smooth brane with four-dimensional Poincare invariance, independently of SM physics. In this…
We review a few off-the-beaten-track ideas in cosmology. They solve a variety of fundamental problems; also they are fun. We start with a description of non-singular dilaton cosmology. In these scenarios gravity is modified so that the…
We discuss the vacuum energy density and the cosmological constant of dS$_5$ brane world with a dilaton field. It is shown that a stable AdS$_4$ brane can be constructed and gravity localization can be realized. An explicit relation between…
We have studied the curvaton scenario in brane world cosmology in an intermediate inflationary scenario. This approach has allowed us to find some constraints on different parameters that appear in the model.
We consider a five-dimensional brane world scenario where the fifth dimension is compactified on $S^1/Z_2$. We show that the familiar four-dimensional cosmology on our brane is easily recovered during a primordial stage of inflation if…
Using a metric-based formalism to treat cosmological perturbations, we discuss the connection between anisotropic stress on the brane and brane bending. First we discuss gauge-transformations, and draw our attention to gauges, in which the…
