New cosmological singularities in braneworld models

Open access
Shtanov, Yuri, Sahni, Varun·2002·Classical and Quantum Gravity

Abstract

Higher-dimensional braneworld models which contain both bulk and brane curvature terms in the action admit cosmological singularities of rather unusual form and nature. These 'quiescent' singularities, which can occur both during the contracting as well as the expanding phase, are characterized by the fact that while the matter density and Hubble parameter remain finite, all higher derivatives of the scale factor ( etc) diverge as the cosmological singularity is approached. The singularities are the result of the embedding of the (3 + 1)-dimensional brane in the bulk and can exist even in an empty homogeneous and isotropic (FRW) universe. The possibility that the present universe may expand into a singular state is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
