D-branes in standard model building, gravity and cosmology

E Kiritsis - Physics reports, 2005 - Elsevier
D-branes are by now an integral part of our toolbox towards understanding nature. In this
review, we will describe recent progress in their use to realize fundamental interactions. The …

Diluting the cosmological constant in infinite volume extra dimensions

G Dvali, G Gabadadze, M Shifman - Physical Review D, 2003 - APS
We argue that the cosmological constant problem can be solved in a braneworld model with
infinite-volume extra dimensions, avoiding no-go arguments applicable to theories that are …

Duality constraints on effective actions

MR Garousi - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Superstring theories at low energy limit are described by the corresponding supergravities,
and their non-perturbative D-brane/O-plane excitations are described by DBI and WZ …

Scale-dependent ()-dimensional electrically charged black holes in Einstein-power-Maxwell theory

Á Rincón, E Contreras, P Bargueño, B Koch… - The European Physical …, 2018 - Springer
In this work we extend and generalize our previous work on the scale dependence at the
level of the effective action of black holes in the presence of non-linear electrodynamics. In …

Comments on noncommutative gravity

L Álvarez-Gaumé, F Meyer, MA Vázquez-Mozo - Nuclear Physics B, 2006 - Elsevier
We study the possibility of obtaining noncommutative gravity dynamics from string theory in
the Seiberg–Witten limit. We find that the resulting low-energy theory contains more …

D‐branes in Standard Model building, gravity and cosmology

E Kiritsis - Fortschritte der Physik: Progress of Physics, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
This is a review of aspects of D‐brane applications to particle physics and cosmology. D‐
branes provide interesting alternatives to standard unification of interactions. Moreover they …

Non-compact Calabi–Yau manifolds and localized gravity

I Antoniadis, R Minasian, P Vanhove - Nuclear Physics B, 2003 - Elsevier
We study localization of gravity in flat space in superstring theory. We find that an induced
Einstein–Hilbert term can be generated only in four dimensions, when the bulk is a non …

Four dimensional Einstein-power-Maxwell black hole solutions in scale-dependent gravity

Á Rincón, E Contreras, P Bargueno, B Koch… - Physics of the Dark …, 2021 - Elsevier
In the present work, we extend and generalize our previous work regarding the scale
dependence applied to black holes in the presence of non-linear electrodynamics (Rincón …

A new perspective on DGP gravity

R Gregory, N Kaloper, RC Myers… - Journal of High Energy …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine brane induced gravity on codimension-1 branes, aka DGP gravity, as a theory
of five-dimensional gravity containing a certain class of four-dimensional branes. From this …

Primordial fluctuations and non-Gaussianities from multifield DBI Galileon inflation

S Renaux-Petel, S Mizuno… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We study a cosmological scenario in which the DBI action governing the motion of a D3-
brane in a higher-dimensional spacetime is supplemented with an induced gravity term. The …
