Abstract

We propose an effective model for an exponentially expanding universe in the brane-world scenario. The setup consists of a 5D black hole and a brane close to the black hole horizon. In case the brane acquires a specific configuration, which we deduce from stability arguments, the induced metric outside the black hole horizon on the brane becomes de Sitter in static coordinates. Studying the Einstein equations perturbatively we find the effective gravity on the brane at this level and derive the 4D gravitational constant. Considering a homogeneous and isotropic fluid in the corresponding FLRW coordinates we find that the bulk fluid density inside the brane, which has the same equation of state as the fluid on the brane, contributes to the energy density in the Friedmann equation and therefore in late time may be attributed to dark matter. Studying the stability of the setup we observe that the brane becomes stabilized, in the presence of matter on the brane, with a de Sitter length that is qualitatively of the order of Schwarzschild radius of the universe due to matter. We briefly discuss effects that can bound the de Sitter lifetime. In particular this model can provide a lifetime compatible with Trans-Planckian Censorship conjecture for the current de Sitter phase.
