Observational constraints on higher-dimensional and variable-[lambda] cosmologies
Nonstandard cosmological models of two broad classes are examined: those in which there are more than four spacetime dimensions, and those in which there is a variable cosmological “constant” Λ. We test claims that a number of higher-dimensional models give rise to inflation. New constraints are pla...
