We present warped compactification solutions of six-dimensional supergravity, which are generalizations of the Randall-Sundrum warped brane world to codimension two and to a supersymmetric context. In these solutions the dilaton varies over…
The cosmology of brane induced gravity in six infinite dimensions is investigated. It is shown that a brane with Friedmann-Robertson-Walker symmetries necessarily acts as a source of cylindrically symmetric gravitational waves, so called…
Accelerating universe or the existence of a small and positive cosmological constant is probably the most pressing obstacle as well as opportunity to significantly improving the models of four-dimensional cosmology from fundamental theories…
We present a variant formulation of the Randall-Sundrum model which solves both the hierarchy and charge universality problems. We first critique the rationale for hierarchy solution and 4D effective interactions in the Randall-Sundrum…
We consider the cosmology and hierarchy of scales in models with branes immersed in a five-dimensional curved spacetime subject to radion stabilization. The universe naturally find itself in the radiation-dominated epoch when the…
We propose a brane-world setup based on gauge/gravity duality that permits the simultaneous realisation of self-tuning of the cosmological constant and a stabilisation of the electroweak hierarchy. The Standard Model dynamics including the…
We study two exactly solvable five-dimensional thick brane world models in pure metric $f(R)$ gravity. Working in the Einstein frame, we show that these solutions are stable against small linear perturbations, including the tensor, vector,…
We consider a variant of the brane-world model in which the universe is the direct product of a Friedmann, Robertson-Walker (FRW) space and a compact hyperbolic manifold of dimension $d\geq2$. Cosmology in this space is particularly…
We study the regularization of the codimension-2 singularities in six-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell axisymmetric models with warping. These singularities are replaced by codimension-1 branes of a ring form, situated around the axis of…
We suggest a mechanism which leads to 3+1 space-time dimensions. The Universe assumed to have nine spatial dimensions is regarded as a special nonlinear oscillatory system -- a kind of Einstein solid. There are p-brane solutions which…
The five-dimensional space-time, with non-factorizable geometry and fifth dimension y being an orbifold S^1/Z_2, is studied. In such a scenario, originally suggested by Randall and Sundrum, there exist two branes at fixed points of the…
We derive the analogue of the vanishing of the cosmological constant in 3+1 dimensions, T_0^0 = 0, in terms of an integral over components of the energy-momentum tensor of a 4+1 dimensional universe with parallel three-branes, and an…
We consider a brane world in an arbitrary number of dimensions without Z_2 symmetry and derive the effective Einstein equation on the brane, where its right-hand side is given by the matter on the brane and the curvature in the bulk. This…
Energy momentum tensor of a quantized massless bulk spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ field in five dimensional warped cosmological spacetimes is studied. The four dimensional part of our model represents a warped cosmological thick brane and the scale of…
We construct a 6-dimensional warped brane world compactification of the Salam-Sezgin supergravity model by generalizing an earlier hybrid Kaluza-Klein / Randall-Sundrum construction [hep-th/0109099]. In this construction the observed…
We look for solutions in Einstein gravity corresponding to inflating braneworlds of arbitrary dimension and co-dimension. These solutions correspond to isolated sources (no long range fields). Using dynamical systems techniques, we show…
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…
In this paper, we discuss the time-dependent brane solutions in higher-dimensional supergravity theories. We particularly focus on the dynamical extensions of the intersecting brane solutions involving three branes. We also show that in the…
We generalize nested multiply warped braneworld models by incorporating non-zero brane curvature caused by an effective cosmological constant {\Omega} induced on the 3-branes. Starting with the doubly warped model, we first analyze the case…
We consider a generalized Randall Sundrum (RS) brane world scenario with a cosmological constant $\Omega$ induced on the visible brane. We show that for $\Omega<0$, resolution of the hierarchy problem requires an upper bound on the…
