Non-conventional cosmology from a brane-universe

چکیده
We consider “brane-universes”, where matter is confined to four-dimensional hypersurfaces (three-branes) whereas one extra compact dimension is felt by gravity only. We show that the cosmology of such branes is definitely different from standard cosmology and identify the reasons behind this difference. We give a new class of exact solutions with a constant five-dimensional radius and cosmologically evolving brane. We discuss various consequences.

Birth of the Brane Universe
Quantum cosmology of the brane universe is studied. It is shown that an inflating brane universe can be created from nothing and the wave function of the universe and the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for quantized scalar fields are the same as those obtained in the conventional 4-dimensional quantum cosmology if the bulk is exactly the Anti-de Sitter spacetime. The effect of the massive ...
متن کاملNull Geodesics in Brane World Universe
We study null bulk geodesic motion in the brane world cosmology in the RS2 scenario and in the static universe in the bulk of the charged topological AdS black hole. We obtain equations describing the null bulk geodesic motion as observed in one lower dimensions. We find that the null geodesic motion in the bulk of the brane world cosmology in the RS2 scenario is observed to be under the additi...
متن کاملBirth of the Brane World
Birth of the brane world is studied using the Hamiltonian approach. It is shown that an inflating brane world can be created from nothing. The wave function of the universe obtained from the Wheeler de-Witt equation and the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for quantized scalar fields on the brane are the same as in the conventional 4-dimensional quantum cosmology if the bulk is exactly the A...
متن کاملCosmology on a Three-Brane
In this paper a general solution is found for a five dimensional orbifold space-time that induces a k = 0 cosmology on a three-brane. Expressions for the energy density and pressure on the brane in terms of the brane metric are derived. Given a metric on the brane it is possible to find five dimensional space-times that contain the brane. This calculation is carried out for an inflationary univ...
متن کاملGravitation and cosmology in a brane-universe
Recent theoretical developments have generated a strong interest in the “brane-world” picture, which assumes that ordinary matter is trapped in a three-dimensional submanifold, usually called brane, embedded in a higher dimensional space. The purpose of this review is to introduce some basic results concerning gravity in these models and then to present various aspects of the cosmology in a bra...
