Smooth branes and junction conditions in Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity

arXiv:gr-qc/0306116 · doi:10.1393/ncb/i2004-10015-0

Abstract

Using "smooth brane" solutions of the field equations, we give an alternative derivation of the junction conditions for a "brane" in a five dimensional "bulk", when gravity is governed by the Einstein Lanczos (Gauss-Bonnet) equations.
