9 branes (orbifold fixed planes), one of which to be later identified with our universe, are separated by a finite gap. Both are BPS states [13], i.e., they can be described at low energy by an effective N = 1 supersymmetric model, so that their curvature vanishes. This is how the flatness problem is addressed in the ekpyrotic model. Ekpyrotic scenario: K=0 4 D brane, Quasi BPS K=0 Visible 4 D brane, Quasi BPS Bulk Bulk Hidden [ V (ϕ) = V i exp 4 ] πγ (ϕ ϕ i ), (3) m Pl where γ is a constant and κ = 8πG = 8π/m 2. Apart Pl from the sign, the potential is the one that leads to the well known power-law inflation model if the value of γ lies in a given range [24]. S The 5 interaction between the two branes results in one (bulk or hidden) brane moving towards the other (visible) boundary until they collide. This impact time is then identified with the S 4 = d 4 x Big-Bang[ of standard cosmology. Slightly before that time, the exponential R(4) potential abruptly goes to zero so the g boundary brane is led to a 4 singular transition M at which the kinetic energy of the bulk 4 brane is converted into radiation. The result is, from this point on, exactly similar to standard big bang cosmology, with the difference that the flatness problem is claimed to be solved by saying our Universe originated as a BPS state (see however [23]). d 5 x [ g 5 R (5) 1 M 5 2 ( ϕ)2 3 e 2ϕ F 2 ], 2 5!

Our Universe is to be identified with the visible brane, and a bulk brane is spontaneously nucleated near the hidden brane, moving towards our universe to produce the Big-Bang singularity and primordial perturbations. In the new ekpyrotic scenario, the bulk orb brane is absent and it is the hidden R brane that collides with the visible one, generating the hot Big Bang singularity. Hidden In the old scenario [8], the five dimensional bulk is also assumed to contain various fields not described here, FIG. 2: Scale factor in the new ekpyrotic scenario. The whose excitations can lead to the spontaneous nucleation Universe starts its evolution with a slow contraction phase of yet another, much lighter, freely moving, Bielefeld brane. - In 23 rd september a ( η) 1+β 2009 with β = 0.9 on the figure. The bounce itself 9 the so-called new scenario [9], and its cyclic extension [23], it is the hidden boundary brane that is able to move in the bulk. In both cases, this extra brane, if assumed BPS (as demanded by minimization of the action) is flat, parallel to the boundary branes and initially is explicitly associated with a singularity which is approached by the scalar field kinetic term domination phase, and the expansion then connects to the standard Big-Bang radiation dominated phase.
