Abstract:

We consider cosmological evolution in the context of the compactified Hořava-Witten theory. We put the perfect fluid on two orbifold fixed planes, which, after the compactification to the Calabi-Yau three orbifold, can be regarded as three-branes. We make the assumption that the energy density of the perfect fluid is much smaller than the tension of the brane. In such a limit, we are able to derive analogs of the conventional Friedmann equation and the energy conservation law.
