Phys. Rev. D 64, 085011 (2001) [9 pages]Variable-speed-of-light cosmology from the brane world scenarioReceived 1 March 2001; published 25 September 2001 We argue that the four-dimensional universe on the TeV brane of the Randall-Sundrum scenario takes the bimetric structure of Clayton and Moffat, with gravitons traveling faster than photons instead, while the radion varies with time. We show that such a brane world bimetric model can thereby solve the flatness and cosmological constant problems, provided the speed of a graviton decreases to the present day value rapidly enough. The resolution of other cosmological problems such as the horizon problem and the monopole problem requires supplementation by inflation, which may be achieved by the radion field provided the radion potential satisfies the slow-roll approximation. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
