It was pointed out that brane-anti-brane inflation without warped geometry is not viable due to compactification effects (in the simplified scenario where the inflaton is decoupled from the compactification moduli). We show that the…
Brane models at low energy are described by an effective action involving gravity and two moduli fields associated with the brane positions. The scalar-tensor nature of the effective theory and the coupling to matter are explicitly spelt…
Gauge choice for a spherically symmetric 3-brane embedded in a D-dimensional bulk with arbitrary matter fields on and off the brane is studied. It is shown that Israel's junction conditions across the brane restrict severely the dependence…
We construct boundary states for D-branes which carry traveling waves in the covariant formalism. We compute their vacuum amplitudes to investigate their interactions. In non-compact space, the vacuum amplitudes become trivial as is common…
