Gravity solutions for decaying branes

John Wang

National Taiwan University

Spacelike branes, which are a time dependent version of black holes and branes, are promising new tools to explore inflation and time dependent backgrounds. However, the backreaction of these solutions and their inherent singularities have not been well understood. We propose and examine new non-singular Spacelike brane gravity solutions which describe brane decay and which have interesting extremal limits.
