We explore cosmology of intersecting braneworlds with induced gravity on the branes. We find the cosmological equations that control the evolution of a moving codimension one brane and a codimension two brane that sits at the intersection. We study the Friedmann equation at the intersection, finding new contributions from the six dimensional bulk. These higher dimensional contributions allow us to find new examples of self-accelerating configurations for the codimension two brane at the intersection and we discuss their features.

  1. Radial Solutions of Multi-Field de Sitter Galileons

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Derives conditions for viable screened radial solutions in multi-field de Sitter Galileons, showing curvature can mitigate superluminality at the cost of a finite validity range set by the strong-coupling point.
