Cosmological perturbations in brane-world theories: Formalism

We develop a gauge-invariant formalism to describe metric perturbations in five-dimensional brane-world theories. In particular, this formalism applies to models originating from heterotic M theory. We introduce a generalized longitudinal gauge for scalar perturbations. In this gauge, we derive the...
