Brane world scenario in the presence of a non-minimally coupled bulk   scalar field
  We present our recent work on brane world models with a non-minimally coupled scalar field. In [9] we examined the stability of these models against scalar field perturbations and we discussed possible physical implications, while in [10] we developed a numerical approach for the solution of the Einstein equations with the non-minimally coupled scalar field.
