New Vistas in Braneworld Cosmology

Traditionally, higher-dimensional cosmological models have sought to provide a description of the fundamental forces in terms of a unifying geometrical construction. In this essay we discuss how, in their present incarnation, higher-dimensional `braneworld' models might provide answers to a number of cosmological puzzles including the issue of dark energy and the nature of the big-bang singularity.Comment: Honorable mention in the 2002 Essay Competition of the Gravity Research Foundation. 10 pages, 2 figure

Calculation System Computerized Royalty / Fee Author in CV. Ghalian Indonesia

Once the importance of the role of presenting the report royalties / fee author on the CV. Ghalia Indonesia, especially for the administration / administration because it can affect perpormance and improvement of the company. Activities of this author's presentation of the report i s still using the manual way, ie in terms of the counting process by the administrative fee, in addition, it needs a lot of places to store the lists of books and lists the security of transactions take a long time and other things. Seeing the lack of efficiency of the above activities, the problem also influences the effectiveness of future work, while the number of lists of books, branches and transactions continue to increase and require more rapid and precise information, it is worth noting and created a system computerize

APSIS - an Artificial Planetary System in Space to probe extra-dimensional gravity and MOND

A proposal is made to test Newton's inverse-square law using the perihelion shift of test masses (planets) in free fall within a spacecraft located at the Earth-Sun L2 point. Such an Artificial Planetary System In Space (APSIS) will operate in a drag-free environment with controlled experimental conditions and minimal interference from terrestrial sources of contamination. We demonstrate that such a space experiment can probe the presence of a "hidden" fifth dimension on the scale of a micron, if the perihelion shift of a "planet" can be measured to sub-arc-second accuracy. Some suggestions for spacecraft design are made.Comment: 17 pages, revtex, references added. To appear in Special issue of IJMP

Quantum effects, soft singularities and the fate of the universe in a braneworld cosmology

We examine a class of braneworld models in which the expanding universe encounters a "quiescent" future singularity. At a quiescent singularity, the energy density and pressure of the cosmic fluid as well as the Hubble parameter remain finite while all derivatives of the Hubble parameter diverge (i.e., ${\dot H}$, ${\ddot H}$, etc. $\to \infty$). Since the Kretschmann invariant diverges ($R_{iklm}R^{iklm} \to \infty$) at the singularity, one expects quantum effects to play an important role as the quiescent singularity is approached. We explore the effects of vacuum polarization due to massless conformally coupled fields near the singularity and show that these can either cause the universe to recollapse or, else, lead to a softer singularity at which $H$, ${\dot H}$, and ${\ddot H}$ remain finite while ${\dddot H}$ and higher derivatives of the Hubble parameter diverge. An important aspect of the quiescent singularity is that it is encountered in regions of low density, which has obvious implications for a universe consisting of a cosmic web of high and low density regions -- superclusters and voids. In addition to vacuum polarization, the effects of quantum particle production of non-conformal fields are also likely to be important. A preliminary examination shows that intense particle production can lead to an accelerating universe whose Hubble parameter shows oscillations about a constant value.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figures, text slightly improved and references added.

Structure formation on the brane: A mimicry

We show how braneworld cosmology with bulk matter can explain structure formation. In this scenario, the nonlocal corrections to the Friedmann equations supply a Weyl fluid that can dominate over matter at late times due to the energy exchange between the brane and the bulk. We demonstrate that the presence of the Weyl fluid radically changes the perturbation equations, which can take care of the fluctuations required to account for the large amount of inhomogeneities observed in the local universe. Further, we show how this Weyl fluid can mimic dark matter. We also investigate the bulk geometry responsible for the scenario.Comment: 7 pages. Matches published versio
