It has recently been argued that non--BPS brane world scenarios can reproduce the small value of the cosmological constant that seems to have been measured. Objections against this proposal are discussed and necessary (but not sufficient)…
We compute the one-loop Casimir energy of gravity and matter fields, obeying various boundary conditions, in 5-dimensional S^1/Z_2 and 6-dimensional T^2/Z_k orbifolds. We discuss the role of the Casimir energy in possible radius…
We study the brane world scenario of a single brane (or a single stack of branes) with codimension higher than one. When the extra dimensions are not small, localization of gravity around the brane is needed in order to reproduce the…
We solve the Einstein's equation in five-dimensional spacetime for Randall Sundrum Brane world model with time dependent radion field to study variation of brane scale factor with time. We have shown that as radion field decreases with time…
We argue that the cosmological constant problem can be solved in a braneworld model with infinite-volume extra dimensions, avoiding no-go arguments applicable to theories that are four-dimensional in the infrared. Gravity on the brane…
We propose a new radion stabilization mechanism in the Randall-Sundrum spacetime, introducing a bulk ${SU(N_H)}$ gauge field which confines at a TeV scale. It turns out that the radion is stabilized by the balance between a brane tension…
In view of the recent observations showing that the universe is accelerating we discuss dilaton and radion stabilization from a phenomenological perspective using perfect fluid sources. One general conclusion we present is that the pressure…
We construct an explicit 5-dimensional supergravity model that realizes the "no scale" mechanism for supersymmetry breaking with no unstable moduli. Supersymmetry is broken by a constant superpotential localized on a brane, and the radion…
We study the cosmological models in which an extended Chaplygin gas universe is merged with the braneworld scenario. In particular, we examine the realization of Einstein static universe on the brane embedded in a non-constant curvature…
We review the notion of the Higgs effect in the context of string theory. We find that by including this effect in time dependent backgrounds, one is led to a natural mechanism for stabilizing moduli at points of enhanced gauge symmetry. We…
We investigate cosmologies with homogeneous extra dimensions that can be described by generalised Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metrics and give a brief review on a general setup to describe a broad range of standard stabilization and…
Physical effects in brane worlds models emerge by the incorporation of field modes coming from extra dimensions with the usual four dimensional ones. Such effects can be tested with well established experiments to set bounds on the…
The stability conditions for coordinate gauge independent perturbations of brane-worlds are analyzed. It is shown that, these conditions lead to the Einstein-Hilbert dynamics and to a confined gauge potential, independently of models and…
Warped braneworld models has the potential to provide a plausible resolution to the gauge hierarchy problem but at the cost of introduction of an additional field, namely the inter-brane separation or, the radion field. Providing an…
Brane world models with `large' extra dimensions with radii in the r_l ~ 0.01- 0.1 mm range and smaller ones at r_s < (1 TeV)^(-1) have the potential to solve the cosmic coincidence problem, i.e. the apparently fortuitous equality between…
By shining a hypermultiplet from one side of the bulk of a flat five-dimensional orbifold, supersymmetry can be broken by boundary conditions. The extra dimension is stabilized in a supersymmetric way, and by computing the four-dimensional…
We conjecture that the extra dimensions are physical non-compact at high energy scale or high temperature; after the symmetry breaking or cosmological phase transition, the bulk cosmological constant may become negative, and then, the extra…
A warped space model with a constant boundary superpotential has been an efficient model both to break supersymmetry and to stabilize the radius, when hypermultiplet, compensator and radion multiplet are taken into account. In such a model…
Supersymmetry breaking and radius stabilization by constant superpotentials localized at boundaries is studied in a supersymmetric warped space model where a hypermultiplet, a compensator and a radion multiplet are taken into account. Soft…
In this talk I describe the low energy effective theory of the (supersymmetric) Randall-Sundrum scenario with arbitrary brane tensions. The distance between the branes is stabilized, at the classical level, by a potential for the radion…
