Abstract

The Friedmann equations for a brane with induced gravity are analyzed and compared with the standard general relativity and Randall-Sundrum cases. Randall-Sundrum gravity modified the early universe dynamics, whereas induced gravity changes the late universe evolution. The early and late time limits are investigated. Induced gravity effects can contribute to late-universe acceleration. This conditions for this are found. Qualitative analysis is given for a range of scalar field potentials.
