Accelerating cosmologies from compactification.
A solution of the (4+n)-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations is found for which spacetime is compactified on an n-dimensional compact hyperbolic manifold (n> or =2) of time-varying volume to a flat…

A note on accelerating cosmologies from compactifications and S-branes
We give a simple interpretation of the recent solutions for cosmologies with a transient accelerating phase obtained from compactification in hyperbolic manifolds, or from S-brane solutions of…
Space-like branes, accelerating cosmologies and the near `horizon' limit
It is known that there exist two different classes of time dependent solutions in the form of space-like (or S)-branes in the low energy M/string theory. Accelerating cosmologies are known to arise…
Hyperbolic space cosmologies
We present a systematic study of accelerating cosmologies obtained from M/string theory compactifications of hyperbolic spaces with time-varying volume. A set of vacuum solutions where the internal…
M/string theory, S-branes and the accelerating universe
Recently it was observed that the hyperbolic compactification of M/string theory related to S-branes may lead to a transient period of acceleration of the universe. We study time evolution of the…

M-theory cosmologies from singular Calabi–Yau compactifications
We study five-dimensional Kasner cosmologies in a time-dependent Calabi–Yau compactification of M-theory undergoing a flop transition. The dynamics of the additional states, which become massless at…
Accelerating cosmologies from exponential potentials
An exponential potential of the form V ~ exp(−2c/Mp) arising from the hyperbolic or flux compactification of higher-dimensional theories is of interest for getting short periods of accelerated…
Alpha-prime corrections to space-like branes
Space-like branes or S-branes are certain class of time dependent solutions of M/string theories having isometries ISO(p+1) × SO(d−p−2,1), where d = 11,10 respectively and have singularities at t =…

A Study of Accelerating Cosmologies from Superstring/M Theories
We study aspects of the accelerating cosmologies obtained from the compactification of the vacuum solution and S2-branes of superstring/M theories. The parameter dependence of the resulting expansion…

We point out that the recently proposed model of a flat four-dimensional universe with accelerated expansion in string or M theory is a special case of time-dependent solutions that the author found…
Supergravity S-Branes
We construct supergravity solutions corresponding to space-like branes in string theory. Our approach is to apply the usual solution generating techniques to an appropriate time-dependent solution of…
Supergravity description of field theories on curved manifolds and a no go theorem
In the first part of this paper we find supergravity solutions corresponding to branes on worldvolumes of the form Rd×Σ where Σ is a Riemann surface. These theories arise when we wrap branes on…
Compact hyperbolic extra dimensions: branes, kaluza-klein modes, and cosmology
TLDR
It is shown that the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein modes is radically altered, which allows the early Universe to evolve normally up to substantial temperatures, and completely negates the astrophysical constraints on M(*.
Does the Tachyon Matter
Abstract We study time-dependent solutions of Einstein–Maxwell gravity in four dimensions coupled to tachyon matter—the Dirac–Born–Infeld Lagrangian that provides an effective description of a…
A New cosmological scenario in string theory
We consider new cosmological solutions with a collapsing, an intermediate and an expanding phase. The boundary between the expanding (collapsing) phase and the intermediate phase is seen by comoving…

Scalar field theories with appropriate potentials in Minkowski space can have time-dependent classical solutions containing topological defects which correspond to S-branes-i.e. branes all of whose…
