String-Inspired Higher-Curvature Terms and the Randall-Sundrum Scenario
Abstract We consider the O(α′) string effective action, with Gauss-Bonnet curvaturesquared and forth-order dilaton-derivative terms, which is derived by a matching procedure with string amplitudes in five space-time dimensions. We show that a non-factorizable metric of the Randall-Sundrum (RS) type, with four-dimensional conformal factor e−2k|z|, can be a solution of the pertinent equations of ...
متن کاملSqueezing MOND into a Cosmological Scenario.
Explaining the effects of dark matter using modified gravitational dynamics (MOND) has for decades been both an intriguing and controversial possibility. By insisting that the gravitational interaction that accounts for the Newtonian force also drives cosmic expansion, one may kinematically identify which cosmologies are compatible with MOND, without explicit reference to the underlying theory ...
متن کاملA New Cosmological Scenario in String Theory
We consider new cosmological solutions with a collapsing, an intermediate and an expanding phase. The boundary between the expanding (collapsing) phase and the intermediate phase is seen by comoving observers as a cosmological past (future) horizon. The solutions are naturally embedded in string and M–theory. In the particular case of a two–dimensional cosmology, space–time is flat with an iden...
متن کاملCosmological perturbations across a curvature bounce
String-inspired cosmologies, whereby a non-singular curvature bounce is induced by a general-covariant, T -duality-invariant, non-local dilaton potential, are used to study numerically how inhomogeneities evolve and to compare the outcome with analytic expressions obtained through different matching conditions across the bounce. Good agreement is found if continuity across the bounce is assumed...
متن کاملConstant mean curvature foliations in cosmological spacetimes
Foliations by constant mean curvature hypersurfaces provide a possibility of defining a preferred time coordinate in general relativity. In the following various conjectures are made about the existence of foliations of this kind in spacetimes satisfying the strong energy condition and possessing compact Cauchy hypersurfaces. Recent progress on proving these conjectures under supplementary assu...
