In this review we present a thoroughly comprehensive survey of recent work on modified
theories of gravity and their cosmological consequences. Amongst other things, we cover …

After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

We propose a cosmological scenario in which the hot big bang universe is produced by the
collision of a brane in the bulk space with a bounding orbifold plane, beginning from an …

The observable universe could be a 1+ 3-surface (the “brane”) embedded in a 1+ 3+ d-
dimensional spacetime (the “bulk”), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the …

We study bulk fermion fields in the localized gravity model with non-factorizable metric
recently proposed by Randall and Sundrum, and Gogberashvili. In addition to a tower of …

For the closing article in this volume on supersymmetry, we consider the alternative options
to SUSY theories: we present an overview of composite Higgs models in light of the …

The discovery of the Higgs boson has led to new possible signatures for heavy resonance
searches at the LHC. Since then, search channels including at least one Higgs boson plus …

Theoretical studies on more than three spatial dimensions are currently showing a distinct
shift toward the'brane world'picture, in which ordinary matter (with the possible exceptions of …

We examine various aspects of the conjectured duality between warped AdS5 geometries
with boundary branes and strongly coupled (broken) conformal field theories coupled to …

The dynamics of a stabilized radion in the Randall-Sundrum model with two branes is
investigated, and the effects of the radion on electroweak precision observables are …
