4D gravity on a brane from bulk higher-curvature terms
We study a gravity model where a tensionful codimension-one threebrane is embedded in a bulk with infinite transverse length. We find that 4D gravity is induced on the brane already at the classical level if we include higher-curvature (Gauss-Bonnet) terms in the bulk. Consistency conditions appear to require a negative brane tension as well as a negative coupling for the higher-curvature terms.
متن کاملOn Junction Conditions in Gravity Theories with Higher Curvature Terms
We discuss the junction conditions in the context of the Randall-Sundrum model with the Gauss-Bonnet interaction. We consider the Z2 symmetric model where the brane is embedded in an AdS5 bulk, as well as a model without Z2 symmetry in which the brane (in this case called by tradition “shell”) separates two metrically different AdS5 regions. We show that the Israel junction conditions across th...
متن کاملScalar brane backgrounds in higher order curvature gravity
We investigate maximally symmetric brane world solutions with a scalar field. Five-dimensional bulk gravity is described by a general lagrangian which yields field equations containing no higher than second order derivatives. This includes the Gauss-Bonnet combination for the graviton. Stability and gravitational properties of such solutions are considered, and we particularily emphasise the mo...
متن کاملInduced Curvature in Brane Worlds by Surface Terms in String Effective Actions with Higher-Curvature Corrections
In string-inspired effective actions, representing the low-energy bulk dynamics of brane/string theories, the higher-curvature ghost-free Gauss-Bonnet combination is obtained by local field redefinitions which leave the (perturbative) string amplitudes invariant. We show that such redefinitions lead to surface terms which induce curvature on the brane world boundary of the bulk spacetime. ∗ ema...
متن کاملMatrix Model Perturbed by Higher Order Curvature Terms
The critical behaviour of the D = 0 matrix model with potential perturbed by nonlocal term generating touchings between random surfaces is studied. It is found that the phase diagram of the model has many features of the phase diagram of discretized Polyakov’s bosonic string with higher order curvature terms included. It contains the phase of smooth (Liouville) surfaces, the intermediate phase ...
