Higgs inflation in Gauss-Bonnet braneworld

Gravitational baryogenesis in Gauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmology

The mechanism of gravitational baryogenesis, based on the CPT -violating gravitational interaction between the derivative of the Ricci scalar curvature and the baryon-number current, is investigated in the context of the Gauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmology. We study the constraints on the fundamental five-dimensional gravity scale, the effective scale of B-violation and the decoupling temperature...

Radion stabilization with ( out ) Gauss – Bonnet interactions and inflation

Radion stabilization is analyzed in 5–dimensional models with branes in the presence of Gauss–Bonnet interactions. The Goldberger–Wise mechanism is considered for static and inflating backgrounds. The necessary and sufficient conditions for stability are given for the static case. The influence of the Gauss–Bonnet term on the radion mass and the inter–brane distance is analyzed and illustrated ...

Gauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmological effect on relic density of dark matter

In Gauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmology, the Friedmann equation of our four-dimensional universe on 3-brane is modified in a high energy regime (Gauss-Bonnet regime), while the standard expansion law is reproduced in low energies (standard regime). We investigate the Gauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmological effect on the thermal relic density of cold dark matter when the freeze-out of the dark matter ...

The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem

The Gauss-bonnet Theorem

The Gauss Bonnet theorem links differential geometry with topology. The following expository piece presents a proof of this theorem, building up all of the necessary topological tools. Important applications of this theorem are discussed.
