Abstract

We present new cosmological solutions for brane gases with solitonic fluxes that can dynamically explain the existence of three large spatial dimensions. This reasserts the importance of fluxes for understanding the full space of solutions in a potential implementation of the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism with M2-branes. Additionally, we study a particular example in which the cosmological dynamics supported by a string gas with a Neveu-Schwarz flux in the ten-dimensional dilaton-gravity framework is asymptotically equivalent to that of a M2-brane gas with a certain wrapping configuration in eleven-dimensional supergravity. We speculate that this connection between the ten- and eleven-dimensional implementations of the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism could be a general feature.
