Braneworld Cosmological Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The main cosmological models on the brane are presented. A generic equation is given, from which the Friedmann equations of the Randall-Sundrum, induced gravity, Gauss-Bonnet and the combined induced gravity and Gauss-Bonnet cosmological models are obtained. We discuss the modifications they bring to the standard cosmology and the main features of their inflationary dynamics.

Brane Collisions and Braneworld Cosmology
Braneworld scenario especially of the Randall-Sundrum type 2) have recently attracted much attention. In particular, cosmological models in this scenario have been studied actively 3), 4). It has been shown that braneworld cosmology seems to be consistent with the 4-dimensional conventional cosmology at least on scales much lower than that corresponding to the brane tension, provided bulk Weyl ...
متن کاملCosmological solutions of braneworlds with warped and compact dimensions
We study cosmological aspects of braneworld models with a warped dimension and an arbitrary number of compact dimensions. With a stabilized radion, a number of different cosmological bulk solutions are found in a general case. Both one and two brane models are considered. The Friedmann equation is calculated in each case. Particular attention is paid to six dimensional models where we find that...
متن کاملCosmological Surprises from Braneworld models of Dark Energy
Properties of Braneworld models of dark energy are reviewed. Braneworld models admit the following interesting possibilities: (i) The effective equation of state can be w ≤ −1 as well as w ≥ −1. In the former case the expansion of the universe is well behaved at all times and the universe does not run into a future ‘Big Rip’ singularity which is usually encountered by Phantom models. (ii) For a...
متن کاملGauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmological effect on relic density of dark matter
In Gauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmology, the Friedmann equation of our four-dimensional universe on 3-brane is modified in a high energy regime (Gauss-Bonnet regime), while the standard expansion law is reproduced in low energies (standard regime). We investigate the Gauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmological effect on the thermal relic density of cold dark matter when the freeze-out of the dark matter ...
متن کاملConsistency equations in Randall-Sundrum cosmology: a test for braneworld inflation
In the context of an inflationary Randall-Sundrum Type II braneworld (RS2) we calculate spectral indices and amplitudes of cosmological scalar and tensor perturbations, up to second order in slow-roll parameters. Under very simple assumptions, extrapolating next-order formulas from first-order calculations in the case of a de Sitter brane, we see that the degeneracy between standard and branewo...
