摘要
A brane scenario is envisaged in which the m-dimensional bulk is endowed with a Gauss-Bonnet term and localization of matter on the brane is achieved by means of a confining potential. The resulting Friedmann equations on the brane are modified by various extra terms that may be interpreted as the X-matter, providing a possible phenomenological explanation for the accelerated expansion of the Universe. The age of the Universe in this scenario is studied and shown to be consistent with the present observational data.
