In this paper we extend previous work on the relation between the complex structure moduli of the underlying Calabi–Yau manifold in five dimensional supergravity with the time evolution of an embedded 3-brane. We numerically solve the fields' equations for such a construction and focus on dust and radiation filled branes; with the possible application of modeling the Universe as a brane-world. It is shown that in both cases the time evolution of the moduli causally connects to the expansion of the brane-world. We also find that in most cases considered there is an early short period of rapid accelerative expansion, indicating an inflationary epoch. We report on these results; leaving analysis of the underlying causes for future work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
