We canonically quantize the dynamics of the brane universe embedded into the five-dimensional Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter bulk space-time. We show that in the brane-world settings the formulation of the quantum cosmology, including the problem of initial conditions, is conceptually more simple than in the (3+1)-dimensional case. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is a finite-difference equation. It is exactly solvable in the case of a flat universe and we find the ground state of the system. The closed brane universe can be created as a result of decay of the bulk black hole.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the notion that all consistent quantum gravity theories must include dynamic objects that possess various charges, indicating there are likely undiscovered branes in string theory.
- It presents a detailed description of the worldsheet behavior of near-horizon limits for specific types of nonsupersymmetric p-branes within certain ten-dimensional heterotic superstring theories.
- The focus is on specific cases where the brane dimension (p) takes on the values of 7, 6, 4, and 0.
Energy Transport for Thick Holographic Branes.

Universal properties of two-dimensional conformal interfaces are encoded by the flux of energy transmitted and reflected during a scattering process. We develop an innovative method that allows us to use results for the energy transmission in thin-brane holographic models to find the energy transmission for general smooth domain-wall solutions of three-dimensional gravity. Our method is based on treating the continuous geometry as a discrete set of branes.

In this manuscript, we investigate the cosmological and thermodynamic aspects of the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity for a spatially flat FRW universe. We consider a theoretical model for interacting Kaniadakis holographic dark energy with the Hubble horizon as the infrared cutoff. We deal with two interaction scenarios (Q1 and Q2) between Kaniadakis holographic dark energy and matter.

The nineteenth-century aether died with special relativity but was resurrected by general relativity in the form of dark energy; a tensile material with tension equal to its energy density. Such a material is provided by the D-branes of string-theory; these can support the fields of supersymmetric particle-physics, although their energy density is cancelled by orientifold singularities upon compactification. Dark energy can still arise from supersymmetry-breaking anti-D-branes but it is probably time-dependent.

Scattering from conformal interfaces in two dimensions is universal in that the flux of reflected and transmitted energy does not depend on the details of the initial state. In this Letter, we present the first gravitational calculation of energy reflection and transmission coefficients for interfaces with thin-brane holographic duals. Our result for the reflection coefficient depends monotonically on the tension of the dual string anchored at the interface and obeys the lower bound recently derived from the averaged-null-energy condition in conformal field theory.
