We derive the corrections to the Friedmann equation of order rho^2 in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, where two 3-branes bound a slice of five-dimensional Anti-deSitter space. The effects of radion stabilization by the Goldberger-Wise mechanism are taken into account. Surprisingly, we find that an inflaton on either brane will experience no order rho^2 corrections in the Hubble rate H due to its own energy density, although an observer on the opposite brane does see such a correction. Thus there is no enhancement of the slow-roll condition unless inflation is simultaneously driven by inflatons on both branes. Similarly, during radiation domination, the rho^2 correction to H on a given brane vanish unless there is nonvanishing energy density on the opposite brane. During the electroweak phase transition the correction can be large, but is has the wrong sign for causing sphalerons to go out of thermal equilibrium, so it cannot help electroweak baryogenesis. We discuss the differences between our results and exact solutions in RS-II cosmology.
