Curved dilatonic brane worlds
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a broad family of exact solutions to the five-dimensional Einstein equations coupled to a scalar field with an exponential potential. Embedding a three-brane in these bulk space-times in a particular way we obtain a class of self-tuned curved brane worlds in which the vacuum energy on the brane is gravitationally idle, the four-dimensional geometry being insensitive to the value of the brane tension. This self-tuning arises from cancellations, enforced by the junction conditions, between the scalar field potential, the brane vacuum energy and the matter on the brane. Finally, we study some physically relevant examples and their dynamics.

Supergravity, Non-Conformal Field Theories and Brane-Worlds
We consider the supergravity dual descriptions of non-conformal super Yang-Mills theories realized on the world-volume of Dp-branes. We use the dual description to compute stress-energy tensor and current correlators. We apply the results to the study of dilatonic brane-worlds described by nonconformal field theories coupled to gravity. We find that brane-worlds based on D4 and D5 branes exhibi...
متن کاملSolitons in Brane Worlds II
We study the solution describing a non-extreme dilatonic (p+1)-brane intersecting a D-dimensional extreme dilatonic domain wall, where one of its longitudinal directions is along the direction transverse to the domain wall, in relation to the Randall-Sundrum type model. The dynamics of the probe (p + 1)-brane in such source background reproduces that of the probe p-brane in the background of th...
متن کاملScalar fluctuations in dilatonic brane–worlds
We derive and solve the full set of scalar perturbation equations for a class of five-dimensional brane–world solutions, with a dilaton scalar field coupled to the bulk cosmological constant and to a 3-brane. The spectrum contains one localized massless scalar mode, to be interpreted as an effective dilaton on the brane, inducing long–range scalar interactions. Two massive scalar modes yield co...
متن کاملLocalization of Gravity on Dilatonic Domain Walls: Addendum to “Solitons in Brane Worlds”
We supplement the discussion on localization of gravity on dilatonic domain walls in “Solitons in Brane Worlds” (Nucl. Phys. B576, 106, hep-th/9911218) by giving unified and coherent discussion which combines the result of this paper and the expanded results in the author’s subsequent papers in an attempt to avoid misleading readers. We also discuss the possible string theory embeddings of the ...
متن کاملClosed Universe in Mirage Cosmology
We study the cosmological evolution of the closed universe on a spherical probe brane moving in the AdSm × S background and the near-horizon background of the dilatonic D-branes. The Friedmann equations describing the evolution of the brane universe, and the effective energy density and pressure simulated on the probe brane due to its motion in the curved background spacetime are obtained and a...
