Inflating p-branes
نویسنده
چکیده
We look for solutions in Einstein gravity corresponding to inflating braneworlds of arbitrary dimension and co-dimension. These solutions correspond to isolated sources (no long range fields). Using dynamical systems techniques, we show that there exists a unique solution corresponding to a black p-brane with a regular horizon at the location of the brane. The solution is not however asymptotically flat, but has global deficit angles.

Can Inflating Braneworlds be Stabilized ?
We investigate scalar perturbations from inflation in braneworld cosmologies with extra dimensions. For this we calculate scalar metric fluctuations around five dimensional warped geometry with four dimensional de Sitter slices. The background metric is determined self-consistently by the (arbitrary) bulk scalar field potential, supplemented by the boundary conditions at both orbifold branes. A...
متن کاملStability of inflating branes in a texture
We investigate the stability of inflating branes embedded in an O(2) texture formed in one extra dimension. The model contains two 3-branes of nonzero tension, and the extra dimension is compact. When the gravitational perturbation is applied, the vacuum energy which is responsible for inflation on the branes stabilizes the branes if the symmetry-breaking scale of the texture is smaller than so...
متن کاملInflating branes inside abelian strings
Abstract We study a 6-dimensional brane world model with an abelian string residing in the two extra dimensions. We study both static as well as inflating branes and find analytic solutions for the case of trivial matter fields in the bulk. Next to singular space-times, we also find solutions which are regular including cigar-like universes as well as solutions with periodic metric functions. T...
متن کاملInflating branes inside topological defects and periodic structures
We study brane world models which contain local topological defects in the bulk and a (3 + 1)-dimensional inflating brane. We put the emphasis on new types of solutions that are periodic in the bulk radial coordinate and thus provide examples of “naturally compactified” brane worlds.
متن کاملAspects of brane-antibrane inflation
I describe a dynamical mechanism for solving the fine-tuning problem of braneantibrane inflation. By inflating with stacks of branes and antibranes, the branes can naturally be trapped at a metastable minimum of the potential. As branes tunnel out of this minimum, the shape of the potential changes to make the minimum shallower. Eventually the minimum disappears and the remaining branes roll sl...
