On the geometry of dark energy

MD Maia, EM Monte, JMF Maia… - Classical and Quantum …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
Experimental evidence suggests that we live in a spatially flat, accelerating universe
composed of roughly one-third of matter (baryonic+ dark) and two-thirds of a negative …

Effective Potential for Quintessential Inflation Driven by Extrinsic Gravity

AJS Capistrano, LA Cabral - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
We numerically study the evolution of the extrinsic energy density in the context of an
inflationary regime at the background level in a five-dimensional model using a Bayesian …

Lower tensor-to-scalar ratio as possible signature of modified gravity

AJS Capistrano, RC Nunes, LA Cabral - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
This paper simplifies the induced four-dimensional gravitational equations originating from a
five-dimensional bulk within the framework of Nash's embeddings, incorporating them into a …

Classical tests in brane gravity

S Jalalzadeh, M Mehrnia… - Classical and Quantum …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
The vacuum solutions in brane gravity differ from those in 4D by a number of additional
terms and reduce to the familiar Schwarzschild metric at small distances. We study the …

The deformable universe

MD Maia, AJS Capistrano, JS Alcaniz… - General Relativity and …, 2011 - Springer
The concept of smooth deformations of Riemannian manifolds, recently evidenced by the
solution of the Poincaré conjecture, is applied to Einstein's gravitational theory and in …

Lukewarm black holes in the Nash-Greene framework

AJS Capistrano - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
In this work, we investigate the embedding of a four-dimensional spherically symmetric
metric in a six-dimensional bulk. By using the Nash-Greene embedding theorem, the …

Evolution of Density Parameters on a Smooth Embedded Universe

AJS Capistrano - Annalen der Physik, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper we examine the evolution of cosmic density parameters in a four‐dimensional
space‐time embedded in a five‐dimensional bulk space. We show that the extrinsic …

Geometrical aspects on the dark matter problem

AJS Capistrano, LA Cabral - Annals of Physics, 2014 - Elsevier
In the present paper we apply Nash's theory of perturbative geometry to the study of dark
matter gravity in a higher-dimensional space–time. It is shown that the dark matter …

Implications on the cosmic coincidence by a dynamical extrinsic curvature

AJS Capistrano, LA Cabral - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
In this work, we apply the smooth deformation concept in order to obtain a modification of
Friedmann's equations. It is shown that the cosmic coincidence can be at least alleviated …

Subhorizon linear Nash–Greene perturbations with constraints on H (z) and the deceleration parameter q (z)

AJS Capistrano, PTZ Seidel, HR Duarte - Physics of the Dark Universe, 2021 - Elsevier
The Hubble parameter H (z), as a function of redshift, is modified by the presence of a new
term originated from the extrinsic curvature in a four embedded space–time. Assuming an …
