Brane-World Cosmology
Abstract
It is argued that typically the initial singularity is isotropic in brane world cosmological models. Consequently brane cosmology naturally gives rise to a set of initial data that provide the conditions for inflation to subsequently take place, leading to a self-consistent and viable cosmological scenario.
