Bouncing Braneworlds Go Crunch!
Recently, interesting braneworld cosmologies in the Randall-Sundrum scenario have been constructed using a bulk spacetime which corresponds to a charged AdS black hole. In particular, these solutions appear to ‘bounce’, making a smooth transition from a contracting to an expanding phase. By considering the spacetime geometry more carefully, we demonstrate that generically in these solutions the...
متن کاملVacuum Densities in Braneworlds *
We give a short review of the recent development in the investigation of the vacuum expectation values of the bulk and surface energy-momentum tensors generated by quantum fluctuations of a massive scalar field with general curvature coupling parameter subject to Robin boundary conditions on two codimension one parallel branes located on (D + 1)dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) bulk. An applicat...
متن کاملIndirect signals from braneworlds
It has been suggested that our universe could be a 3-dimensional brane where the SM fields live embedded in a D-dimensional space-time. In flexible braneworlds, in addition to the SM fields, new degrees of freedom appear on the brane associated to brane fluctuations. These new fields, known as branons, are standard WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) and therefore natural dark matter c...
متن کاملBlack Crunch
We study the growth of fluctuations in collapsing cosmologies, extending old work of Lifschitz and Khalatnikov. As examples of systems where the fluctuations have a different composition than the background we study scalar fields with general improvement terms. Fluctuations always grow, and often dominate the homogeneous background. We argue that even for very dilute fluctuations, scattering pr...
متن کاملBiodiversity crunch
One of the major efforts of researchers in recent years has been to determine the economic value of natural resources in an effort to persuade policymakers that these resources are important in decisions about development. But many species in particular environments are being lost so quickly that their value may be undervalued, according to a new report. And Clive Hambler and colleagues at the ...
