30 May 2001 | | Journal: | Gen.Rel.Grav. 33 (2001) 1921-1928 | | Subject: | gr-qc astro-ph hep-ph hep-th | | Abstract: | Brane worlds are theories with extra spatial dimensions in which ordinary matter is localized on a (3+1) dimensional submanifold. Such theories could have interesting consequences for particle physics and gravitational physics. In this essay we concentrate on the cosmological constant (CC) problem in the context of brane worlds. We show how extra-dimensional scenarios may violate Lorentz invariance in the gravity sector of the effective 4D theory, while particle physics remains unaffected. In such theories the usual no-go theorems for adjustment of the CC do not apply, and we indicate a possible explanation of the smallness of the CC. Lorentz violating effects would manifest themselves in gravitational waves travelling with a speed different from light, which can be searched for in gravitational wave experiments. | | Source: | arXiv, gr-qc/0105114 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
