Nucleation of $^{(4)}R$ Brane Universes

The creation of brane universes induced by a totally antisymmetric tensor living in a fixed background spacetime is presented, where a term involving the intrinsic curvature of the brane is considered. A canonical quantum mechanical approach employing Wheeler-DeWitt equation is done. The probability nucleation for the brane is calculated taking into account both an instanton method and a WKB approximation. Some cosmological implications arose from the model are presented.

Chiral Superconducting Membranes

We develop the dynamics of the chiral superconducting membranes (with null current) in an alternative geometric approach either making a Lagrangian description and a Hamiltonian point of view. Besides of this, we show the equivalence of the resulting descriptions to the one known Dirac-Nambu-Goto (DNG) case. Integrability for chiral string model is obtained using a proposed light-cone gauge. In a similar way, domain walls are integrated by means of a simple ansatz. We compare the results with recently works appeared in the literature.

Stealth Branes

We discuss the brane world model of Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati in which branes evolve in an infinite bulk and the brane curvature term is added to the action. If Z_2 symmetry between the two sides of the brane is not imposed, we show that the model admits the existence of "stealth branes" which follow the standard 4D internal evolution and have no gravitational effect on the bulk space. Stealth branes can nucleate spontaneosly in a Minkowski bulk. This process is described by the standard 4D quantum cosmology formalism with tunneling boundary conditions for the brane world wave function. The notorious ambiguity in the choice of boundary conditions is fixed in this case due to the presence of the embedding spacetime. We also point to some problematic aspects of models admitting stealth brane solutions.

Constrained Superconducting Membranes

We present a geometrical canonical description for superconducting membranes. We consider a general action which includes a general class of superconducting extended objects (strings and domain walls). The description is inspired in the ADM framework of general relativity but, instead of the standard canonical variables a different kind of phase space is considered. The Poisson algebra of the constraints and the counting of degrees of freedom is performed. The new description is illustrated considering a superconducting domain wall on a curved background spacetime.

Stationary Axisymmetric Solutions of the Einstein Equations with Rigidly Rotating Perfect Fluid and Nonlinear Charged Sources

A class of stationary rigidly rotating perfect fluid coupled with non-linear electromagnetic fields was investigated. An exact solution of the Einstein equations with sources for the Carter B(+) branch was found, for the equation of state $3p + ε= constant$. We use a structural function for the Born-Infeld non-linear electrodynamics which is invariant under duality rotations and a metric possessing a four- parameter group of motions. The solution is of Petrov type D and the eigenvectors of the electromagnetic field are aligned to the Debever-Penrose vectors.
