Brane world scenario in the presence of a non-minimally coupled bulk scalar field

Abstract

We present our recent work on brane world models with a non-minimally coupled scalar field. In [9] we examined the stability of these models against scalar field perturbations and we discussed possible physical implications, while in [10] we developed a numerical approach for the solution of the Einstein equations with the non-minimally coupled scalar field.Comment: 8 pages,1 figure, talk given in Nafplio NEB XII 200
