Lower-dimensional Regge-Teitelboim gravity

Abstract

We study modified gravity theory known as Regge-Teitelboim approach, in which the gravity is represented by dynamics of a surface isometrically embedded in a flat bulk. We obtain some particular solutions of Regge-Teitelboim equations corresponding to a central symmetric vacuum 2+1-dimensional spacetime. In contrast with GR, this vacuum spacetime is not flat, so it is possible for the gravitational field to exist even without matter or cosmological constant.
