On brane cosmological solutions

Abstract

This paper presents some cosmological consequences of the five dimensional, two brane Randall-Sundrum brane scenario. The radius of the compact extra dimension is taken to be time dependent. It is shown that the cosmology consistent with the two brane Randall-Sundrum model is a power law expansion of the universe, with scale factor growing as $t^{1/2}$. The two branes tend to move towards each other with time. Some comments are made on the contribution of surface terms in deriving the four dimensional effective action.
