Inflation and brane gases
We investigate a new way of realizing a period of cosmological inflation in the context of brane gas cosmology. It is argued that a gas of codimension one branes, out of thermal equilibrium with the rest of the matter, has an equation of state which can—after stabilization of the dilaton—lead to power-law inflation of the bulk. The most promising implementation of this mechanism might be in typ...
متن کاملBraneworld inflation driven by dynamics of a bulk scalar field
We review a viable alternative scenario of the inflationary universe in the context of the Randall-Sundrum (RS) braneworld. In this scenario, the dynamics of a 5-dimensional scalar field, which we call a bulk scalar field, plays the central role. Focusing on the second (single-brane) RS model, we discuss braneworld inflation driven by a bulk scalar field without introducing an inflaton on the b...
متن کاملThe Confining Heterotic Brane Gas: A Non-Inflationary Solution to the Entropy and Horizon Problems of Standard Cosmology
We propose a mechanism for solving the horizon and entropy problems of standard cosmology which does not make use of cosmological inflation. Crucial ingredients of our scenario are brane gases, extra dimensions, and a confining potential due to string gas effects which becomes dominant at string-scale brane separations. The initial conditions are taken to be a statistically homogeneous and isot...
متن کاملNon-Minimal Inflation on the Warped DGP Brane
We construct an inflation model with inflaton non-minimally coupled to gravity on a warped DGP brane. Using an exponential potential, we calculate scalar power spectrum, spectral index and the running of the spectral index. We show that for a suitable range of non-minimal coupling it is possible to exit the inflationary phase spontaneously and without any mechanism, even in the case that minima...
متن کاملInflation conditions for non-BPS D-branes
We investigate the effective action for a non-BPS brane in a timedepending embedding. This action is considered as the action for tachyon and embedding coupled to the brane gravity. We derive the slow roll parameters from this model. PACS 11.25.Wx ; 98.80.-k
