Non-conventional cosmology from a brane-universe
Abstract
We consider ``brane-universes'', where matter is confined to four-dimensional hypersurfaces (three-branes) whereas one extra compact dimension is felt by gravity only. We show that the cosmology of such branes is definitely different from standard cosmology and identify the reasons behind this difference. We give a new class of exact solutions with a constant five-dimensional radius and cosmologically evolving brane. We discuss various consequences.
