Inflating branes inside topological defects and periodic structures
arXiv:0708.2047 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/68/1/012008
Abstract
We study brane world models which contain local topological defects in the bulk and a (3+1)-dimensional inflating brane. We put the emphasis on new types of solutions that are periodic in the bulk radial coordinate and thus provide examples of "naturally compactified" brane worlds.
