The radion in brane cosmology
Abstract
We consider the homogeneous cosmological radion, which we define as the interbrane distance in a two brane and Z2 symmetrical configuration. In a coordinate system where one of the brane is at rest, the junction conditions for the second (moving) brane give directly the (non-linear) equations of motion for the radion. We analyse the radion fluctuations and solve the non-linear dynamics in some simple cases of interest.
