TLDR
In this article, the Gauss-Codazzi formalism is used to obtain exact solutions to Einstein's equations in the presence of domain walls and the motion of a spherical domain wall in an asymptotically flat space-time is derived.Abstract:
The Gauss-Codazzi formalism is used to obtain exact solutions to Einstein's equations in the presence of domain walls. Domain walls are shown to have repulsive gravitational fields. The most general solution to Einstein's equations for a planar domain wall is obtained. Also, the motion of a spherical domain wall in an asymptotically flat space-time is derived.read more

Non-conventional cosmology from a brane-universe
TL;DR: In this article, the cosmology of three-brane universes was investigated and the authors showed that the cosmological properties of such branes are different from standard cosmology and identified the reasons behind this difference.

Cosmology on a Brane in Minkowski Bulk
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-brane is embedded in a 5D bulk space-time with a cosmological constant when an intrinsic curvature Ricci scalar is included in the brane action.

Primordial black holes
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanisms of primordial black hole formation are discussed and observational constraints on the PBH spectrum, or effects of PBH evaporation, are shown to restrict a wide range of particle physics models, predicting an enhancement of the ultraviolet part of the spectrum of density perturbations.

2 Axion Cosmology
TL;DR: In this article, the cosmological properties of axions are reviewed and the authors define normalization by the action density for QCD plus an axion LQCD+a = − 1 G b G bμν + 1 ∂μ a∂ μ a.
