Braneworld Instantons Typeset Using Revt E X
We derive the general equations of motion for a braneworld containing a (localized) domain wall. Euclideanization gives the geometry for braneworld false vacuum decay. We explicitly derive these instantons and compute the amplitude for false vacuum decay. We also show how to construct a toy ekpyrotic instanton. Finally, we comment on braneworlds with a compact spatial direction and the adS soli...
متن کاملBraneworld Cosmology
A brief review of the field of braneworld cosmology, from its inception with the large extra dimension scenario, to aspects of cosmology in warped extra dimensions, including the RS-I and RS-II models, braneworld inflation, the Goldberger-Wise mechanism, mirage cosmology, the radion-induced phase transition in RS-I, possible gravity wave signals, and the DGP model.
متن کاملBraneworld cosmological singularities
The purpose of this brief report is to present some results of our on-going project on the asymptotic behaviour of braneworld-type solutions on approach to their possible finite ‘time’ singularities. Cosmological singularities in such frameworks have served as means to attack the cosmological constant problem (see and references therein). The main mathematical tool of our analysis is the method...
متن کاملBraneworld Cosmology and Holography
This thesis is devoted to studying two important aspects of braneworld physics: their cosmology and their holography. We examine the Einstein equations induced on a general (n − 2)-brane of arbitrary tension, embedded in some n-dimensional bulk. The brane energy-momentum tensor enters these equations both linearly and quadratically. From the point of view of a homogeneous and isotropic brane we...
متن کاملGhost-free Braneworld Bigravity
We consider a generalisation of the DGP model, by adding a second brane with localised curvature, and allowing for a bulk cosmological constant and brane tensions. We study radion and graviton fluctuations in detail, enabling us to check for ghosts and tachyons. By tuning our parameters accordingly, we find bigravity models that are free from ghosts and tachyons. These models will lead to large...
