Abstract

A four-dimensional timelike brane is considered as the boundary of the bulk background. Exploiting the CFT/FRW-cosmology relation, we derive the self-gravitational corrections to the first Friedmann-like equation which is the equation of the brane motion. The additional term that arises due to the semiclassical analysis, can be viewed as stiff matter where the self-gravitational corrections act as the source for it. This result is contrary to standard analysis that regards the charge of bulk black hole as the source for stiff matter. A very interesting feature of the solutions of FRW equation is that they all (for ) have a non-vanishing minimum value for the scale factor.
