About the Book

The workshop on the cosmology of extra dimensions and varying fundamental constants was part of JENAM 2002, held in Porto in September 2002. It was the first major international workshop devoted to this topic. It brought together string theorists, particle physicists, theoretical and observational cosmologists, relativists and observational astrophysicists. The overall motivation for the workshop was to discuss the current theoretical motivations for the existence of additional space-time dimensions, and to confront these expectations with existing or upcoming observational and experimental tests. The interaction between specialists in different areas was quite fruitful, and a number of outstanding issues were identified which are likely to become the main paths of research to be explored in this area in the coming years.

The cosmology of extra dimensions and varying fundamental constants.- String theory, cosmology and varying constants.- Cosmological parameters from Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies: Status and prospects.- Cosmology in a brane-universe.- Brane world effective action at low energies.- Varying fundamental constants from a string-inspired brane world model.- Cosmology ‘without’ constants.- Variable speed of light theories.- Varying fundamental constants: A dynamical systems approach.- A resolution of the cosmological singularity in string theory.- The global structure of the colliding bubble braneworld universe.- The value of ?0 in a colliding bubble universe.- Inhomogeneous dark radiation dynamics on a de Sitter brane.- The confrontation between general relativity and experiment.- The implications of experimental uncertainties in Newton’s constant on the standard evolution of the Sun.- Varying fine-structure constant and the cosmological constant problem.- Does the fine structure constant vary? A third quasar absorption sample consistent with varying ?.- Does the fine structure constant vary?
