Schwarzschild Black Branes and Strings in higher-dimensional Brane Worlds

arXiv:hep-th/0207283 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.66.104026

Abstract

We consider branes embedded in spacetimes of codimension one and two, with a warped metric tensor for the subspace parallel to the brane. We study a variety of brane-world solutions arising by introducing a Schwarzschild-like black hole metric on the brane and we investigate the properties of the corresponding higher-dimensional spacetime. We demonstrate that normalizable bulk modes lead to a vanishing flow of energy through the naked singularities. From this point of view, these singularities are harmless.
