NEW VISTAS IN BRANEWORLD COSMOLOGY
Abstract
Traditionally, higher-dimensional cosmological models have sought to provide a description of the fundamental forces in terms of a unifying geometrical construction. In this essay we discuss how, in their present incarnation, higher-dimensional "braneworld" models might provide answers to a number of cosmological puzzles including the issue of dark energy and the nature of the big bang singularity.
This essay received an "honorable mention" in the Annual Essay Competition of the Gravity Research Foundation for the year 2002.
