Localizing gravity on a stringlike defect in six dimensions

T Gherghetta, M Shaposhnikov - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
We present a metric solution in six dimensions, where gravity is localized on a four-
dimensional singular stringlike defect. The corrections to four-dimensional gravity from the …

General brane cosmologies and their global spacetime structure

P Bowcock, C Charmousis… - Classical and Quantum …, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
Starting from a completely general standpoint, we find the most general brane-universe
solutions for a 3-brane in a five-dimensional spacetime. The brane can border regions of …

Localization of matters on a string-like defect

I Oda - Physics Letters B, 2000 - Elsevier
After presenting string-like solutions with a warp factor to Einstein's equations, we study
localization of various spin fields on a string-like defect in a general space–time dimension …

Black string instabilities in anti-de Sitter space

R Gregory - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We show how to extend the usual black string instability of vacuum or charged black p-
branes to the anti-de Sitter background. The string fragments in an analogous fashion to the …

Living inside a hedgehog: Higher-dimensional solutions that localize gravity

T Gherghetta, E Roessl, M Shaposhnikov - Physics Letters B, 2000 - Elsevier
We consider spherically symmetric higher-dimensional solutions of Einstein's equations with
a bulk cosmological constant and n transverse dimensions. In contrast to the case of one or …

Consistency of higher derivative gravity in the brane background

IP Neupane - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the theory of higher derivative gravity with non-factorizable Randall-Sundrum
type space-time and obtain the metric solutions which characterize the p-brane world …

Bosonic fields in the stringlike defect model

I Oda - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
We study localization of bosonic bulk fields on a stringlike defect with codimension 2 in a
general space-time dimension in detail. We show that in cases of spin-0 scalar and spin-1 …

On some new warped brane world solutions in higher dimensions

S Randjbar-Daemi, M Shaposhnikov - Physics Letters B, 2000 - Elsevier
We present new solutions of higher dimensional Einstein's equations with a cosmological
constant that localize gravity on branes which are transverse to Ricci-flat manifolds or to …

Cosmological constant and Fermi-Bose degeneracy

G Dvali - arXiv preprint hep-th/0004057, 2000 - arxiv.org
We study some cases in D= 4 and in infinite-volume high dimensional theories when
unbroken supersymmetry in the vacuum cannot guarantee Fermi-Bose degeneracy among …

Localization of various bulk fields on a brane

I Oda - arXiv preprint hep-th/0009074, 2000 - arxiv.org
We report the issues of localization of various bulk fields on a brane in a curved background
from a local field-theoretic viewpoint where a special attention is paid to a warp geometry in …
