We propose an orbifolded, warped, extra dimension scenario in which the visible brane is not parallel to the hidden brane. This leads automatically to Lorentz violation in the visible, four dimensional world. The background solution to the…
We obtain the localized gravity on the intersection of two orthogonal non-solitonic or solitonic 4-branes in D=6 in the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet term. The tension of the intersection is allowed to exist unlike the case without the…
It is shown that the effective five-dimensional theory of the strongly coupled heterotic string is a gauged version of N=1 five-dimensional supergravity with four-dimensional boundaries. For the universal supermultiplets, this theory is…
Exact cosmological solutions are obtained for a five dimensional inhomogeneous fluid distribution along with a Brans-Dicke type of scalar field. The set includes varied forms of matter field including $\rho+p=0$, where p is the 3D isotropic…
5D warped extra dimension models with multiple 3-branes can naturally realize multiple hierarchical mass scales which are ubiquitous in physics beyond the Standard Model. We discuss cosmological consequences of such multi-brane models with…
A simple five-dimensional brane world model is proposed, motivated by M-theory compactified on a six-dimensional manifold of small radius and an $S^1/Z_2$ of large radius. We include a leading-order higher curvature correction to the…
This paper discusses the origin of the small parameters with the aim of explaining the Hierarchy problem. The flexible extra dimensions are an essential tool in the process by which physical parameters are formed. The evolution of a…
We present a brane-world scenario in which two regions of $AdS_5$ space-time are glued together along a 3-brane with constant positive curvature such that {\em all} spatial dimensions form a compact manifold of topology $S^4$. It turns out…
Multidimensional cosmological model describing the evolution of n+1 Einstein spaces in the theory with several scalar fields and forms is considered. When a (electro-magnetic composite) p-brane Ansatz is adopted the field equations are…

Six dimensional bulk spacetimes with 3-- and 4--branes are constructed using certain non--conventional bulk scalars as sources. In particular, we investigate the consequences of having the phantom (negative kinetic energy) and the…
We study dynamics of a D3-brane propagating in the vicinity of k coincident NS5 branes. We show that when $g_s$ is small, there exists a regime in which dynamics of the D-brane is governed by Dirac-Born-Infeld action while higher order…
We propose a new unified model that describes~dark energy and dark matter in the context of $f(R,\phi )$ gravity using a massive scalar field in five dimensions. The scalar field is considered in the bulk that surrounds the 3-brane in…
Based on the assumption that the warp factor of four-dimensional spacetime and the one of fifth dimension are tied through a parameter $\alpha$, we consider five-dimensional gravity with a 3-brane coupled to a bulk scalar field. For…
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…
5D cosmological model with 3-brane with matter is considered. The brane divides bulk in two AdS half spaces. Geometry of the model can be described by two types of coordinates: in the first setting the metric is static and the brane is…
We propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor. In this framework, the gravitational and gauge interactions become united at the weak scale, which we take as the only…

We address the possibility of finding domain wall solutions from cosmological solutions in brane cosmology. We find first-order equations for corresponding cosmology/domain wall solutions induced on 3-branes. The quadratic term of energy…
