The scalar potential for a scalar field canonically normalized is given by the sum of exponential potentials. In the case of $\\Lambda=0$ and $\\Lambda>0$, we point out that the scalar potential has an unstable local maximum at the origin and exponentially vanishes for large positive scalar field. In the case of $\\Lambda<0$, the scalar potential has an unstable local maximum at the origin and a stable local minimum, it is shown that the positive cosmological constant in brane is reduced by negative potential energy of scalar at minimum.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2004-06-01T01:24:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "scalar potential", "sitter brane", "effective cosmological constant", "unstable local maximum", "mode effective action arising" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "IOP", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2004, "month": "Jun", "volume": 2004, "number": 6, "pages": "023" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 632264, "adsabs": "2004JHEP...06..023I" } } }
