Accelerated Universe from Gravity Leaking to Extra Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the idea that the accelerated Universe could be the result of the gravitational leakage into extra dimensions on Hubble distances rather than the consequence of non-zero cosmological constant. e-mail [email protected]

Comments on “ A Supernova Brane Scan ”
Recently we proposed that the acceleration of the Universe could be due to gravity leaking to extra dimensions. This scenario gives an alternative to the cosmological constant or quintessence. In [astro-ph/0106274] the authors claimed that this proposal is strongly disfavored if not ruled out by the existing data on Supernovae, Cosmic Microwave Background and clusters. We show that the work [as...
متن کاملAbilities of Multidimensional Gravity
We show that a number of problems of modern cosmology may be addressed and solved in the framework of multidimensional gravity with high-order curvature invariants, without invoking other fields. As applications of this approach, we mention primordial inflation and particle production after it; description of the modern accelerated stage of the Universe with stable compact extra dimensions; con...
متن کاملCosmic acceleration and extra dimensions: constraints on modifications of the Friedmann equation
An alternative to dark energy as an explanation for the present phase of accelerated expansion of the Universe is that the Friedmann equation is modified, e.g. by extra dimensional gravity, on large scales. We explore a natural parametrization of a general modified Friedmann equation, and find that the present supernova type Ia and cosmic microwave background data prefer a correction of the for...
متن کاملInflation from Extra Dimensions
A gravity-driven inflation is shown to arise from a simple higher dimensional universe. In vacuum, the shear of n > 1 contracting dimensions is able to inflate the remaining three spatial dimensions. Said another way, the expansion of the 3-volume is accelerated by the contraction of the n-volume. Upon dimensional reduction, the theory is equivalent to a four dimensional cosmology with a dynami...
متن کاملAccelerating cosmologies from exponential potentials
It is learnt that exponential potentials of the form V ∼ exp(−2cφ/Mp) arising from the hyperbolic compactification of higher-dimensional theories are of interest for getting short periods of accelerated cosmological expansions. Using such a potential derived for the combined case of hyperbolic-flux compactification, we study a fourdimensional flat (or open) FRW cosmolgy and give analytic (and n...
