We discuss possible variations of the effective gravitational constant with length scale, predicted by most of alternative theories of gravity and unified models of physical interactions. After a brief general exposition, we review in more…
We consider a scalar field interaction with a cosmic string configuration in a flat 3-brane. The origin of this field is given by a compactification mechanism in the context of a 5-dimensional Brans-Dicke theory. We use the Cosmic Microwave…

$D$-brane boundary states for type II superstrings are constructed by enforcing the conditions that preserve half of the space-time supersymmetry. A light-cone coordinate frame is used where time is identified as one of the coordinates…
A new mechanism which leads to a linearized massless graviton localized on the brane is found in the $AdS$/CFT setting, {\it i.e.} in a single copy of $AdS_5$ spacetime with a singular brane on the boundary, within the Randall-Sundrum…
Two-branes RS-I 5-dimensional model is generalized in higher dimensional string-induced theory with dilaton and $n$-form field. It is supposed that "hidden" and "visible" Randall-Sundrum branes are located at the boundaries of region of…

We consider a toy cosmological model with a gas of wrapped Dp-branes in 10-dimensional dilaton gravity compactified on a p-dimensional Ricci flat internal manifold. A consistent generalization of the low energy effective field equations in…
We consider the 3+1 visible sector to live on a Hanany-Witten D-brane construction in type IIA string theory. The messenger sector consists of stretched strings from the visible brane to a hidden D6-brane in the extra spatial dimensions. In…
In this work, we study the localization of the vector gauge field in two five-dimensional braneworlds generated by scalar fields coupled to gravity. The sine-Gordon like potentials are employed to produce different thick brane setups. A…
We consider the problem of gravitational forces between point particles on the branes in a Randall-Sundrum (R-S) two brane model with $S^1/Z_2$ symmetry. Matter is assumed to produce a perturbation to the R-S vacuum metric and all the 5D…
We develop a formalism for computing one-loop gravitational corrections to the effective action of D-branes. In particular, we study bulk to brane mediation of supersymmetry breaking in models where supersymmetry is broken at the tree-level…
Four dimensional supergravities may be the right framework to describe particle physics at low energies. Its connection to the underlying string theory can be implemented through higher dimensional supergravities which bear special…
We discuss a model in which our universe is pictured as a recoiling Dirichlet brane: we find that a proper treatment of the recoil leads naturally to supersymmetry obstruction on the four-dimensional world. An essential feature of our…
We discuss the comsological evolution of a brane in the $D(>6)$-dimensional black brane spacetime in the context of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) braneworld scheme, i.e., to consider KK compactification on the brane. The bulk spacetime is composed…
Curved, intersecting brane configurations satisfying the type IIA supergravity equations of motion are found. In eleven dimensions, the models are interpreted in terms of orthogonally intersecting M5--branes, where the world--volumes are…
We investigate the zero mode dimensional reduction of the Kaluza-Klein unifications in the presence of a single brane in the infinite extra dimension. We treat the brane as fixed, not a dynamical object, and do not require the orbifold…
The evolution of the cosmological perturbations is studied in the context of the Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario, in which our universe is realized on a three-brane in the five dimensional Anti-de Sitter(AdS) spacetime. We develop a…
The aim of this talk is to provide non-experts with a brief and elementary introduction on the field of extra dimensions. The main motivation for extra dimensions relies on the more fundamental string theories that predict ten (or eleven)…
