Brane Worlds, String Cosmology, and AdS/CFT
Using the thin-shell formalism we discuss the motion of domain walls in de Sitter and anti--de Sitter (AdS) time-dependent bulks. This motion results in a dynamics for the brane scale factor. We show that in the case of a clean brane the scale factor describes both singular and nonsingular universes...

| Sumario: | Using the thin-shell formalism we discuss the motion of domain walls in de Sitter and anti--de Sitter (AdS) time-dependent bulks. This motion results in a dynamics for the brane scale factor. We show that in the case of a clean brane the scale factor describes both singular and nonsingular universes, with phases of contraction and expansion. These phases can be understood as quotients of AdS spacetime by a discrete symmetry group. We discuss this effect in some detail, and suggest how the AdS/CFT correspondence could be applied to obtain a nonperturbative description of brane-world string cosmology. |
