Conformal symmetry of brane world effective actions

arXiv:hep-th/0409122 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.71.021901

Abstract

A simple derivation of the low-energy effective action for brane worlds is given, highlighting the role of conformal invariance. We show how to improve the effective action for a positive- and negative-tension brane pair using the AdS/CFT correspondence.
