Gauss-Bonnet Cosmology with Induced Gravity and Non-Minimally Coupled Scalar Field on the Brane

Understand

We construct a cosmological model with non-minimally coupled scalar field on the brane, where Gauss-Bonnet and Induced Gravity effects are taken into account.

• This model has 5D character at both high and low energy limits but reduces to 4D gravity in intermediate scales.
• While induced gravity is a manifestation of the IR limit of the model, Gauss-Bonnet term and non-minimal coupling of scalar field and induced gravity are essentially related to UV limit of the scenario.
• We study cosmological implications of this scenario focusing on the late-time behavior of the solutions.
