4D gravity on a brane from bulk higher-curvature terms
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Localized Gravity with Higher Curvature Terms
In the intersecting brane configurations with any number n of extra dimensions, we obtain a localized gravity on the n orthogonal non-solitonic or solitonic (n+2)-branes in the presence of higher curvature terms. In the presence of such terms there would exist a non vanishing brane tension at the four-dimensional brane intersection of the (2 + n)-branes. The effective 4d Planck scale MP l is de...
متن کاملScalar-Tensor Gravity on a Gauss-Bonnet Brane World
The effective four-dimensional, linearised gravity for a brane world model with higher order curvature terms and a bulk scalar field is analysed. Large and small distance gravitational laws are derived. The model has a single brane embedded in a fivedimensional bulk spacetime, and the scalar field represents the dilaton or a moduli field. The quadratic, Gauss-Bonnet curvature term (and correspo...

Assuming an Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravitation in a (D ≥ 5)-dimensional spacetime with boundary, we consider the problem of the boundary dynamics given the matter Lagrangian on it. The resulting equation is applied in particular on the derivation of the Friedmann equation of a 3-brane, understood as the non-orientable boundary of a 5d spacetime. We briefly discuss the contradictory con...

We revisit the 5D gravity model by Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP). Within their framework it was shown that even in 5D non-compact Minkowski space (x, z), the Newtonian gravity can emerge on a brane at short distances by introducing a brane-localized 4D Einstein-Hilbert term δ(z)M2 4 √ |ḡ4|R̄4 in the action. Based on this idea, we construct simple setups in which graviton standing waves can...

We present a linear treatment of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity on a singular co-dimension one brane embedded in (d + 1) dimension anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We exhibit that the zero-energy solution corresponds to the localized massless graviton on the brane with correct momentum and tensor structures. By introducing the higher curvature terms in quadratic form, we consider a braneuniverse i...
