Accelerated universe from gravity leaking to extra dimensions
Open accessAbstract
We discuss the idea that the accelerated universe could be the result of gravitational leakage into extra dimensions over Hubble distances rather than the consequence of a nonzero cosmological constant.

The self-accelerating branch of DGP can produce cosmic acceleration without the need for a cosmological constant or brane tension.
“One is a self-accelerating branch that can produce cosmic acceleration without the need for a cosmological constant or brane tension and has been the subject of much interest earlier in the literature, see extended discussions in Deffayet (2001), Deffayet et al. (2002a) and Lue (2006).”

“…constant (with a phenomenally small value), evolving scalar fields (modern cousins of the inflation field; Caldwell et al. 1998; Peebles & Ratra 2003), and a weakening of gravity in our 3þ 1 dimensions by leaking into the higher dimensions required in string theories (Deffayet et al. 2002).”

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.
