We examine the cosmology of the two recently proposed scenarios for a five dimensional universe with localized gravity. We find that the scenario with a non-compact fifth dimension is potentially viable, while the scenario which might solve the hierarchy problem predicts a contracting universe, leading to a variety of cosmological problems.

The paper

Original abstract

We examine the cosmology of the two recently proposed scenarios for a five dimensional universe with localized gravity. We find that the scenario with a non-compact fifth dimension is potentially viable, while the scenario which might solve the hierarchy problem predicts a contracting universe, leading to a variety of cosmological problems.

Neutrino masses and mixings in non-factorizable geometry
hep-ph 1999-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

A right-handed neutrino zero mode localized on the hidden brane of the Randall-Sundrum geometry generates Dirac neutrino masses scaling as M(v/M)^(nu+1/2), replacing the see-saw mechanism.
Suppressing Extra-Dimensional Axion Isocurvature Dynamically
hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Radion dynamics in warped 5D models enhance the axion decay constant during inflation, satisfying CMB isocurvature bounds at higher Hubble scales while restoring the QCD window afterward.
Inflation with a Growing Fifth Dimension
hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Inflation from a UV-brane inflaton in a warped 5D bulk with an IR brane predicts a blue-tilted low-k scalar spectrum and oscillating tensor features because the early adiabatic modes come from the radion.
Mass spectrum of primordial black holes from inflationary perturbation in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld: a limit on blue spectra
astro-ph 2006-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

In a Randall-Sundrum type-2 braneworld, primordial black hole abundances and the diffuse gamma-ray background imply a small-scale scalar spectral index n ≲ 1.3 for ℓ = 0.1 mm and reheating above 10^6 GeV.
Universal Aspects of Gravity Localized on Thick Branes
hep-th 2000-01 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

In smooth thick-brane backgrounds, four-dimensional gravity is localized precisely when the Kaluza-Klein continuum decouples, and the correction to Newton's law is a universal power law set by the metric's long-range falloff.

Dynamics of Anti-de Sitter Domain Walls

Solving the junction equations for a Randall-Sundrum domain wall moving through a static AdS5 black hole yields the full family of wall trajectories, which wall observers see as FRW expansion or contraction, with a bu...
Helical phase inflation and its observational constraints
hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

Helical phase inflation, using the phase of a complex scalar as the inflaton, fits Planck 2018 and BICEP2 data and is claimed to show alpha-attractor behavior, with a brane version that reduces field excursions.
A Higgslike Dilaton
hep-ph 2012-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

A dilaton whose symmetry-breaking scale sits near the weak scale can reproduce the LHC's 125 GeV coupling pattern, but only at the price of percent-level tuning of the dilaton quartic.
Four-dimensional gravity on a thick domain wall

An exactly solvable thick AdS domain wall is shown, by numerical integration of its closed-form Schrodinger equation, to have no resonances in its continuum graviton spectrum.

This relation for the Hubble constant is in spirit similar to the standard result [ref] [ref] that the expression for the square of the Hubble constant in Randall-Sundrum type models [ref] contains a term quadratic in the brane energy density.

Before the realization that such pathological behavior was linked to the failure to stabilize the extra dimension, it was discovered that in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model [ref] with a warped extra dimension due to a negative bulk cosmological constant, the Friedmann equation took a more interesting form, [equation] where $T$ is the brane tension [ref] .
