The braneworld description of our universe entails a large extra dimension and a fundamental scale of gravity that might be lower by several orders of magnitude compared to the Planck scale. An interesting consequence of the braneworld…
We study the homogeneous and anisotropic dynamics of pseudoscalar inflation coupled to an SU($N$) gauge field. To see how the initially anisotropic universe is isotropized in such an inflation model, we derive the equations to obtain…
Extremal black branes are of interest because they correspond to the ground states of field theories at finite charge density in gauge/gravity duality. The geometry of such a brane need not be translationally invariant in the spatial…
The evolution of a probe D-brane in the p-brane background has been considered. The anisotropic evolution of the world-volume of the D-brane with a given topology of a world-volume in a form of a direct product of a n-dimensional flat space…
The creation of the inflationary brane universe in 5d bulk Einstein and Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is considered. We demonstrate that emerging universe is ambigious due to arbitrary function dependence of the junction conditions (or…
In this work, the cosmological implications of brane world scenario are investigated when the gravitational coupling $G$ and the cosmological term $\Lambda$ are not constant but rather there are time variation of them. From observational…
On the largest scales, the universe appears to be almost homogeneous and isotropic, adhering to the cosmological principle. In contrast, on smaller scales inhomogeneities and anisotropy become increasingly prominent, reflecting the origin,…
The braneworld model of gravity is well-known for several notable cosmological features such as self-acceleration originating from a geometric and not matter source, effective dark energy behavior with phantom characteristics but not…
We discuss isotropic and homogeneous D-brane-world cosmology with non-Abelian Born-Infeld (NBI) matter on the brane. In the usual Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model the scale non-invariant NBI matter gives rise to an equation of state…
Standard dynamical system analysis of Einstein-Maxwell equation in $f(R)$ theories is considered in this work. We investigate cosmological dynamics of a uniform magnetic field in the Orthogonal Spatially Homogeneous (OSH) Bianchi type I…
Some new exact solutions of Einstein's field equations have come forth within the scope of a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-III space-time filled with barotropic fluid and dark energy by considering a variable…
We consider the form of Hubble diagrams that would be constructed by observers in universes that are homogeneous but anisotropic, when averaged over suitably large length-scales. This is achieved by ray-tracing in different directions on…
Astronomical observations suggest that the Universe may be anisotropic on the largest scales. In order to model this situation, we develop a new approach to cosmology that allows for large-scale anisotropy to emerge from the growth of…
The origin of power asymmetry and other measures of statistical anisotropy on the largest scales of the universe, as manifested in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and large-scale structure data, is a long-standing open question in…
Braneworld models with variable brane tension $\lambda $ introduce a new degree of freedom that allows for evolving gravitational and cosmological constants, the latter being a natural candidate for dark energy. We consider a thermodynamic…
This study investigates the dynamics of a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic LRS Bianchi type-I universe with viscous fluid in the framework of $f(Q)$ symmetric teleparallel gravity. We assume a linear form for $f(Q)$ and introduce…
Multidimensional gravity interacting with intersecting electric and magnetic $p$-branes is considered for fields depending on a single variable. Some general features of the system behaviour are revealed without solving the field equations.…
A united approach of the large-scale structure of a closed universe and the local spherically symmetric gravitational field is given by supposing an appropriate boundary condition. The general feature of the model obtained are the…
We consider the problem of the nature and possible types of spacetime singularities that can form during the evolution of \emph{FRW} universes in general relativity. We show that by using, in addition to the Hubble expansion rate and the…
In this letter, we outline an inhomogeneous model of the Big Bang cosmology. For the inhomogeneous spacetime used here, the universe originates in the infinite past as the one dominated by vacuum energy and ends in the infinite future as…
