On asymptotic behavior of anisotropic Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati branes

Abstract

The braneworld model of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) provides an interesting alternative to a positive cosmological constant by modifying gravity at large distances. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of homogeneous and anisotropic cosmologies on the DGP brane. It is shown that all Bianchi models except type IX isotropize, as in general relativity, if the so called $E_{\mu \nu }$ term satisfies some energy condition. Isotropization can proceed slower in DGP gravity than in general relativity.
