4D gravity on a brane from bulk higher-curvature terms
arXiv:hep-th/0405038 · doi:10.1142/S021773230501889X
Abstract
We study a gravity model where a tensionful codimension-one three-brane is embedded on 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.
