Vacuum Energy Density and Cosmological Constant in dS Brane World
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the vacuum energy density and the cosmological constant of dS5 brane world with a dilaton field. It is shown that a stable AdS4 brane can be constructed and gravity localization can be realized. An explicit relation between the dS bulk cosmological constant and the brane cosmological constant is obtained. The discrete mass spectrum of the massive scalar field in the AdS4 brane is used to acquire the relationship between the brane cosmological constant and the vacuum energy density. The vacuum energy density in the brane gotten by this method is in agreement with astronomical observations.

Vacuum Polarization in an Anti-de Sitter Space as an Origin for a Cosmological Constant in a Brane World
In this Letter we show that the vacuum polarization of quantum fields in an anti-de Sitter space naturally gives rise to a small but nonzero cosmological constant in a brane world living in it. To explain the extremely small ratio of mass density in the cosmological constant to the Planck mass density in our universe (≈ 10) as suggested by cosmological observations, all we need is a four-dimens...
متن کاملAccelerating universe from warped extra dimensions
Accelerating universe or the existence of a small and positive cosmological constant is probably the most pressing obstacle as well as opportunity to significantly improving the models of four-dimensional cosmology from fundamental theories of gravity, including string theory. In seeking to resolve this problem, one naturally wonders if the real world can somehow be interpreted as an inflating ...
متن کاملOn Brane Stabilization and the Cosmological Constant
We address the problem of the cosmological constant within the Randall-Sundrum scenario with a brane stabilization mechanism. We consider brane tensions of general form. We examine the conditions under which a small change of the positive tension of the first brane can be absorbed in a small modification of the two-brane configuration, instead of manifesting itself as a cosmological constant. W...

In brane-world theory in five dimensions, the bulk metric is usually written in gaussian coordinates, where g 4µ = 0 and g 44 = −1. However, the choice g 44 = −1 is not mandatory. The presence of matter in the brane can generate temporal and spatial variations of g 44 , which in turn backreact on the brane. In this paper we study the consequences of having g 44 = ǫΦ 2 , where ǫ = ±1 and Φ is a ...
متن کاملSelf-tuning of Cosmological Constant and Exit from Inflation *
I review the recent 5D self-tuning solutions of the cosmological constant problem, and try to unify two cosmological constant problems within the framework of the self-tuning solutions. One problem, the large cosmological constant needed for inflation, is interpreted by starting with the parameters allowing only the dS vacuum, and the vanishing cosmological constant at a true vacuum is realized...
