Braneworld Cosmology
Abstract
Description
We present a general formalism for studying an inflationary scenario in the two-brane system. We explain the gradient expansion method and obtain the 4-dimensional effective action. Based on this effective action, we give a basic equations for the background homogeneous universe and the cosmological perturbations. As an application, we propose a born-again braneworld scenario.
