Introduction to extra dimensions and thick braneworlds

YX Liu - Memorial volume for Yi-shi Duan, 2018 - World Scientific
In this review, we give a brief introduction on the aspects of some extra dimension models
and the five-dimensional thick brane models in extended theories of gravity. First, we briey …

Towards a smooth unification from an ekpyrotic bounce to the dark energy era

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, T Paul - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2022 - Elsevier
In the context of a ghost free f (R, G) model, we present a non-singular cosmological
scenario in which the universe initially contracts through an ekpyrotic phase having a …

In order to unravel the present situation of the PBH overproduction problem, our study
emphasizes the critical role played by the equation of state (EoS) parameter w within the …

From a bounce to the dark energy era with F (R) gravity

SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou… - Classical and Quantum …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
In this work we consider a cosmological scenario in which the Universe contracts initially
having a bouncing-like behavior, and accordingly after it bounces off, it decelerates …

Probing massless and massive gravitons via entanglement in a warped extra dimension

SG Elahi, A Mazumdar - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Gravity's quantum nature can be probed in a laboratory by witnessing the entanglement
between the two quantum systems, which cannot be possible if gravity is a classical entity. In …

[HTML][HTML] Extended matter bounce scenario in ghost free f (R, G) gravity compatible with GW170817

E Elizalde, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou, T Paul - Nuclear Physics B, 2020 - Elsevier
In the context of a ghost free f (R, G) model, an extended matter bounce scenario is studied
where the form of the scale factor is given by a (t)=(a 0 t 2+ 1) n. The ghost free character of …

Unifying an asymmetric bounce to the dark energy in Chern–Simons F (R) gravity

SD Odintsov, T Paul, I Banerjee, R Myrzakulov… - Physics of the Dark …, 2021 - Elsevier
We propose a cosmological scenario in which the universe undergoes through a non-
singular bounce, and after the bounce, it decelerates having a matter-like dominated …

Inflation driven by Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

S Chakraborty, T Paul, S SenGupta - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We have explicitly demonstrated that scalar coupled Gauss-Bonnet gravity in four
dimensions can have nontrivial effects on the early inflationary stage of our Universe. In …

Inflationary universe in gravity with antisymmetric tensor fields and their suppression during its evolution

E Elizalde, SD Odintsov, T Paul, DSC Gómez - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
The intriguing question, why the present scale of the universe is free from any perceptible
footprints of rank-2 antisymmetric tensor fields (generally known as Kalb-Ramond fields), is …

Nonsingular bounce cosmology from Lagrange multiplier gravity

S Nojiri, SD Odintsov, VK Oikonomou, T Paul - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
In this work, we study nonsingular bounce cosmology in the context of the Lagrange
multiplier generalized F (R) gravity theory of gravity. We specify our study by using a specific …
