Induced dark energy in a warped braneworld and accelerating universe

摘要

In the six-dimensional (6D) Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant, we determine the structure of warped spacetimes bounded by 4-branes. We find an accelerating Universe solution with the induced dark energy, from the 4-brane obtained by orbifolding an external space, and suggest a possibility of addressing problems related to the cosmological constant.
