Abstract
We obtain an exact solution of the supergravity equations of motion in which the four-dimensional observed Universe is one of a number of colliding D3 branes in a Calabi-Yau background. The collision results in the ten-dimensional spacetime splitting into disconnected regions, bounded by curvature singularities. However, near the D3 branes the metric remains static during and after the collision. We also obtain a general class of solutions representing p-brane collisions in arbitrary dimensions, including one in which the universe ends with the mutual annihilation of a positive-tension and a negative-tension 3 brane.
