Title

Singularity analysis of braneworlds
Co-authors Ignatios Antoniadis, Spiros Cotsakis

Abstract

We present new results on the study of the singularity structure and asymptotic behaviors of five-dimensional braneworld solutions for a bulk that is a mixture of a massless scalar field and an analog of perfect fluid with an equation of state of the form $P=\gamma\rho$ between the `pressure' $P$ and the `density' $\rho$. We allow for the two bulk components either to coexist independently, or, interact with each other by exchanging energy in a way that the total energy is conserved. We show that only in the latter case it is possible to avoid finite-distance singularities for flat brane solutions. In particular, by choosing properly the range of the interaction parameters we find that we may escape finite-distance singularities for a flat brane and for $-1<\gamma<-1/2$.
