Abstract

We consider the scenario emerging from the dynamics of a generalized -brane in a spacetime. The equation of state describing this system is given in terms of the energy density, , and pressure, , by the relationship , where is a positive constant and . We discuss the conditions under which homogeneity arises and show that this equation of state describes the evolution of a universe evolving from a phase dominated by non-relativistic matter to a phase dominated by a cosmological constant via an intermediate period where the effective equation of state is given by .
