ICTP Lectures on Large Extra Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
I give a brief and elementary introduction to braneworld models with large extra dimensions. Three conceptually distinct scenarios are outlined: (i) Large compact extra dimensions; (ii) Warped extra dimensions; (iii) Infinite-volume extra dimensions. As an example I discuss in detail an application of (iii) to late-time cosmology and the acceleration problem of the Universe. Based on lectures given at: Summer School on Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology Triese, Italy, June 17 – July 5, 2002 A part of these lecture were also delivered at Fifth J.J. Giambiagi Winter School of Physics “Precision Cosmology”, July 28 – August 1, 2003, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

TASI Lectures on Extra Dimensions and Branes∗
This is a pedagogical introduction into theories with branes and extra dimensions. We first discuss the construction of such models from an effective field theory point of view, and then discuss large extra dimensions and some of their phenomenological consequences. Various possible phenomena (split fermions, mediation of supersymmetry breaking and orbifold breaking of symmetries) are discussed...
متن کاملTopological Defects in Cosmology*
The scenario of a cosmology with topological defects is surveyed starting from the field theoretic aspects and ending with a description of large-scale structure formation and magnetic field generation. * Lectures delivered at ICTP, Trieste, July 1993.
متن کاملICTP Lectures on Theoretical Aspects of Neutrino Masses and Mixings ∗
Recent neutrino oscillation experiments are yielding valuable information on the nature of neutrino masses and mixings even though we are far from a complete understanding of the new physics implied by them. In these lectures, I summarize the current theoretical status of neutrino mass physics. ∗Lectures delivered at the NEUPAST school at the Abdus Salam ICTP, Trieste in October, 2002; parts of...
متن کاملTasi 2004 Lectures on the Phenomenology of Extra Dimensions
The most exciting development in physics beyond the Standard Model in the past ten years is the phenomenology of extra dimensions. A cursory glance at the SLAC Spires “all time high” citation count confirms this crude statement. As of the close of the summer of 2005, the papers on large [1], warped [2], and universal [3] extra dimensions have garnered nearly 4000 citations among them. This also...
