2001: A Spacetime Odyssey: A lecture on colliding branes and the origin of the hot big bang by Paul Steinhardt
A Cyclic Universe: An article from Sky & Telescope on the ekpyrotic universe model.
A Recycled Universe: A scientific american article on the brane-world models of the Universe
A Workshop on the Ekpyrotic Universe: The purpose of this workshop will be to offer the opportunity to discuss issues such as the connection with M-theory and cosmological perturbations in the ekpyrotic scenario.
An Invisible Dimension: Extra spatial dimensions--beyond the three we know--might exist, while being invisible to most experiments.
Brane Cosmology: The aim of these lectures is to give a brief introduction to brane cosmology
Brane-Storm Challenges Big Bang Theory: A popular physics explanation of the ekpyrotic model of universe creation
Branes for Relativists: The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a pedagogical account of the brane technology so that the relativists can use branes in their study.
Cosmology in a Brane Universe: This lecture presents the cosmological models with extra dimensions that have been recently elaborated, which assume that ordinary matter is confined on a surface, called brane, embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime.
Searching for Extra Dimensions: A one page article on the search for evidence of higher dimensions.
The Cyclic Universe: An informal introduction to the models of the universe which use higher dimension branes.
