Standard cosmology from sigma-model

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We investigate (4 + 1)- and (5 + 0)-dimensional gravity coupled to a non-compact scalar field sigma-model and a perfect fluid within the context of the Randall-Sundrum scenario. We find cosmological solutions with a rolling fifth radius and a family of warp factors. Included in this family are both the original Randall-Sundrum solution and the self-tuning solution of Kachru, Schulz and Silverstein. Our solutions exhibit conventional cosmology.
