Challenges for Brane Gas Cosmology
Robert Brandenberger (Brown University)

Brane gas cosmology is a string-motivated model of the early Universe which makes crucial use of degrees of freedom and symmetries which are particular to string theory. It promises to yield a nonsingular cosmological model which only allows three spatial dimensions to become large. There is a natural radion stabilization mechanism. In this talk, I will discuss promises and challenges for brane gas cosmology.
