Towards a Braneworld Alternative to Inflationary Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
I review some aspects of warped braneworld cosmologies which have some hope of leading to alternatives to in ation. Afterwards, recent work on density perturbations in this context is discussed.

Consistency 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...
متن کاملBraneworld Cosmology Almost without Branes
We review some general aspects of braneworld cosmologies in which an inflationary period driven by a scalar field confined on the brane is described by a nonstandard effective Friedmann equation. The perturbation spectra, consistency equations and observational consequences of these models are considered.

In this thesis, we explore three alternatives to the current paradigm of the standard inflationary big bang scenario. The three alternative themes are spin torsion (or Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama) theories, extra dimensions (braneworld cosmology) and changing global symmetry. In the spin torsion theories, we found new cosmological solutions with a cosmological constant as alternative to the s...
متن کاملInitial Kaluza-Klein fluctuations and inflationary gravitational waves in braneworld cosmology
We study the spectrum of gravitational waves generated from inflation in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld. Since the inflationary gravitational waves are of quantum-mechanical origin, the initial configuration of perturbations in the bulk includes Kaluza-Klein quantum fluctuations as well as fluctuations in the zero mode. We show, however, that the initial fluctuations in Kaluza-Klein modes have ...
متن کاملBrane Big - Bang Brought by Bulk
We propose an alternative inflationary universe scenario in the context of Randall-Sundrum braneworld cosmology. In this new scenario the existence of extra-dimension(s) plays an essential role. First, the brane universe is initially in the inflationary phase driven by the effective cosmological constant induced by small mismatch between the vacuum energy in the 5-dimensional bulk and the brane...
