Curvature corrections in DGP brane cosmology

Abstract

We consider a DGP inspired brane scenario where the action on the brane is augmented by a function of the Ricci scalar, $\mathcal{L}(R)$. The cosmological implications that such a scenario entails are examined for $R^n$ and shown to be consistent with a universe expanding with power-law acceleration. It is shown that two classes of solutions exist for the usual FRW metric and small Hubble radii. When the Hubble radius becomes larger, we either have a transition to a fully 5D regime or to a self-inflationary solution which produces a late accelerated expansion such that the radius becomes a function of $n$.
