Astrophysical and Cosmological Consequences of the Dynamical Localization of Gravity
Cristiano Germani
In this thesis I review cosmological and astrophysical exact models for Randall-Sundrum-type braneworlds and their physical implications. I present new insights and show their anal…

Smooth branes and junction conditions in Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Nathalie Deruelle, Cristiano Germani
Using "smooth brane" solutions of the field equations, we give an alternative derivation of the junction conditions for a "brane" in a five dimensional "bulk", when gravity is gove…

On the thin-shell limit of branes in the presence of Gauss-Bonnet interactions
Carlos Barcelo, Cristiano Germani, Carlos F. Sopuerta
In this paper we study thick-shell braneworld models in the presence of a Gauss-Bonnet term. We discuss the peculiarities of the attainment of the thin-shell limit in this case and…
