We investigate a string/M theoretic realization of the varying speed of light scenario. We consider a (3+1)-dimensional probe-brane universe in the background of a black hole in the bulk formed by a stack of branes, in the spirit of Kiritsis (hep-th/9906206). We generalize the dynamics of the system at hand by including rotation and Hubble damping of the bulk space-time and show that this may lead to a mechanism to stabilize the brane-universe and hence fix the speed of light at late times.

Brane World Cosmologies with Varying Speed of Light
We study cosmologies in the Randall-Sundrum models, incorporating the possibility of time-varying speed of light and Newton’s constant. The cosmologies with varying speed of light (VSL) were proposed

Variable-speed-of-light cosmology from the brane world scenario
We argue that the four-dimensional universe on the TeV brane of the Randall-Sundrum scenario takes the bimetric structure of Clayton and Moffat, with gravitons traveling faster than photons instead,
A Varying- Brane World Cosmology
We study the brane world cosmology in the RS2 model where the electric charge varies with time in the manner described by the varying ne-structure constant theory of Bekenstein. We map such varying
A Varying e brane world cosmology
We study a varying electric charge brane world cosmology in the RS2 model obtained from a varying-speed-of-light brane world cosmology by redefining the system of units. We elaborate conditions under
Cosmological Perturbations on a Bouncing Brane
• Physics
• 2007
The cosmological perturbations on a bouncing brane are studied. The brane is moving inside a Klebanov–Strassler throat where the infrared region of the geometry is smoothly cut off. For an observer
A Varying-$\alpha$ Brane World Cosmology
We study the brane world cosmology in the RS2 model where the electric charge varies with time in the manner described by the varying fine-structure constant theory of Bekenstein. We map such varying
The Interface of Cosmology with String and M-Theory
The purpose of this review is to discuss recent developments occurring at the interface of cosmology with string and M-theory. We begin with a short review of 1980s string cosmology and the

In the context of inflationary models with a pre-inflationary stage, in which the Einstein equations are obeyed, the null energy condition is satisfied, and spacetime topology is trivial, we argue
