Radion stabilization with ( out ) Gauss – Bonnet interactions and inflation
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 by numerical examples. The interplay between the radion stabilization and the cosmological constant problem is discussed.

متن کاملGauss-Bonnet Brane Cosmology with Radion Stabilization
G.L. Alberghi 2, 3, ∗ and A. Tronconi 3, † Department of Physics, University of Bologna, Via Irnerio 46, 40126 Bologna, Italy. Department of Astronomy, University of Bologna, Italy. I.N.F.N., Sezione di Bologna, Italy. We study cosmology in a five-dimensional brane-world with a stabilizing effective potential for the radion and matter localized on the two branes. We consider the corrections ind...
متن کاملRadion Cosmology in Theories with Universal Extra Dimensions
We discuss cosmology of models with universal extra dimensions, where the Standard Model degrees of freedom live in a 4 + n dimensional brane, with n compact and small extra spatial dimensions. In these models, the simplest way to obtain the conventional 4-dimensional Planck scale starting with a low string scale is to have also some larger extra dimensions, where only gravity propagates. In su...
متن کاملInflation in scalar-tensor gravity with quadratic Gauss-Bonnet self-interactions
We present cosmological solutions for a graviton-plus-dilaton system coupled to a perfect fluid source, including quadratic curvature corrections. We show that, even in the absence of a dilaton self-interaction potential, isotropic superinflation (/:/> 0 ) can be realized for a wide range of equations of state, which includes in particular the ordinary cases of dust matter and radiation. It is ...

In this paper we show that power-law inflation can be realized in non-minimal gravitational coupling of electromagnetic field with a general function of Gauss-Bonnet invariant. Such a non-minimal coupling may appear due to quantum corrections. We also consider modified Maxwell-F (G) gravity in which non-minimal coupling between electromagnetic field and f (G) occur in the framework of modified ...
