A critical review and summary of string gas cosmology is presented. A pedagogical
derivation of the effective action starting from string theory, emphasizing the necessary …

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 …

String gas cosmology is a string theory-based approach to early universe cosmology that is
based on making use of robust features of string theory such as the existence of new states …

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 …

We study string-gas cosmology in dilaton gravity, inspired by the fact that it naturally arises in
a string theory context. Our main interest is the thermodynamical treatment of the ideal string …

We investigate a new way of realizing a period of cosmological inflation in the context of
brane gas cosmology. It is argued that a gas of codimension one branes, out of thermal …

We consider the flat anisotropic Bianchi I braneworld model of the universe within the
framework of low energy effective string action in four-dimensions including the leading …

We discuss a particular d-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet-dilatonic universe compactified on S 1
motivated from M-theory. We examine the time-evolution of the dynamical equations where …

Abstract We generalize the Brane Gas Cosmological Scenario to M-theory degrees of
freedom, namely M5 and M2 branes. Without brane intersections, the Brandenberger Vafa …

We summarize the approach to brane cosmology known as “mirage cosmology” and use it
to determine the Friedmann equation on a 3-brane embedded in different bulk spacetimes …
