Brane World Cosmology, the CMB and the Radion
read the original abstract
Recent developments in the theory of extra dimensions have opened up avenues to confront such theories with cosmological tests. We discuss a brane-world model with a bulk scalar field, motivated by supergravity. The low-energy effective action is derived and physical constraints on the parameters of the model discussed. The cosmological evolution of the brane-world moduli is investigated and it is shown that one of the moduli is a quintessence field. The CMB predictions are computed. Finally, the possibility that the radion field in brane-worlds could be a chameleon field is investigated.
