Pre-big bang on the brane

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v3

Abstract

The equations of motion and junction conditions for a gravi-dilaton brane world scenario are studied in the string frame. It is shown that they allow Kasner-like solutions on the brane, which makes the dynamics of the brane very similar to the low curvature phase of pre-big bang cosmology. Analogies and differences of this scenario with the Randall-Sundrum one and with the standard bulk pre-big bang dynamics are also discussed.
