Braneworld setup and embedding in teleparallel gravity

Understand

We construct the setup of a five-dimensional braneworld scenario in teleparallel gravity.

• Both cases of Minkowski and Friedmann-Robertson-Walker branes embedded in Anti de Sitter bulk are studied and the effective 4-D action were studied.
• 4-dimensional local Lorentz invariance is found to be recovered in both cases.
• However, due to different junction conditions, the equations governing the 4-D cosmological evolution differ from general relativistic case.
