On bouncing brane worlds, S-branes and branonium cosmology
Abstract
We present several higher-dimensional spacetimes for which observers living on 3-branes experience an induced metric which bounces. The classes of examples include boundary branes on generalized S-brane backgrounds and probe branes in D-brane/anti-D-brane systems. The bounces we consider normally would be expected to require an energy density which violates the weak energy condition, and for our codimension-one examples this is attributable to …
