Accelerating universe in brane gravity with a confining potential
arXiv:gr-qc/0607067 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2006.07.020
Abstract
We construct the Einstein field equations on a 4-dimensional brane embedded in an -dimensional bulk where the matter fields are confined to the brane by means of a confining potential. As a result, an extra term in the Friedmann equation in a -dimensional bulk appears that may be interpreted as the X-matter, providing a possible phenomenological explanation for the acceleration of the universe. The study of the relevant observational data suggests good agreement with the predictions of this model.
