Gravity and cosmology on a brane-world

Richard A. Battye

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Contrary to everyday experience it is possible to construct models with more than three spatial dimensions which are compatible with linearized 4D Einstein gravity and homogeneous isotropic cosmologies. The simplest of these models have co-dimension one and are subjected to reflection symmetry. We discuss various extensions, in particular the inclusion of a scalar field and the relaxation of the assumption of reflection symmetry.
