Recent Results in Brane Cosmology

One of the "hot" topics in particle theory is the Randall-Sundrum model in which we live on a 3-brane embedded in a 5-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space. I will summarize some work relating to the brane universe scenario, including the issues of cosmological expansion with radion stabilization, and the so-called self-tuning solutions to the cosmological constant problem.
