Abstract

The cosmology of higher dimensional spacetimemodels in which ordinary matter is confined to ahypersurface (brane) is discussed. The nonconventionalaspects of the corresponding cosmological scenarios is emphasized. Some issues relevant to theprimordial universe, such as inflation, arereviewed.
