contents The universe as a brane Roy Maartens Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas brane dark energy world models Cosmological models If string theory is on the right track as a description of nature, then our observable universe may be a 3-dimensional membrane surface in ahigher-dimensional spacetime. The brane-world picture of the universe, as inspired by string theory, opens up new vistas in cosmology. Theextra polarizations of the higher-dimensional graviton, and the additional fields arising from the extra dimensions, bring new features thatmay leave detectable signatures. Moreover, the hope is that these new ingredients will shed light on the major puzzles associated with thestandard cosmological model – in particular, the problem of explaining inflation and the dark energy problem. 2007 artículo científico 0035-001X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57066418 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57066418/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57066418/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57066418/57066418.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/570/57066418/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=570 Revista Mexicana de Física application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Física A.C.
