Why do we live in 3+1 dimensions?
Ruth Durrer, Martin Kunz, Mairi Sakellariadou
In the context of string theory we argue that higher dimensional Dp-branes unwind and evaporate so that we are left with D3-branes embedded in a (9+1)-dimensional bulk. One of thes…
CMB anisotropies from vector perturbations in the bulk
Christophe Ringeval, Timon Boehm, Ruth Durrer
The vector perturbations induced on the brane by gravitational waves propagating in the bulk are studied in a cosmological framework. Cosmic expansion arises from the brane motion…
Gauge invariant cosmological perturbation theory for braneworlds
Alain Riazuelo, Filippo Vernizzi, Danièle Steer +1
We derive the gauge invariant perturbation equations for a 5-dimensional bulk spacetime in the presence of a brane. The equations are derived in full generality, without specifying…
Frontiers of the Universe: What do we know, what do we understand?
Ruth Durrer
In this talk I summarize the topics addressed during the conference. We have discussed the most relevant cosmological observations of the last say 10 years and their implications f…
Clarifying perturbations in the ekpyrotic universe
Ruth Durrer
In this note I try to clarify the problem of perturbations in the ekpyrotic universe. I write down the most general matching conditions and specify the choices taken by the two deb…
Cosmological Strucure Formation with Topological Defects
Ruth Durrer
Structure formation with topological defects is described. The main differences from inflationary models are highlighted. The results are compared with recent observations. It is c…
