Brane Cosmic String Compactification in Brans-Dicke Theory
arXiv:hep-th/0703234 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.75.084028
Abstract
We investigate an alternative compactification of extra dimensions using local cosmic string in the Brans-Dicke gravity framework. In the context of dynamical systems it is possible to show that there exist a stable field configuration for the Einstein-Brans-Dicke equations. We explore the analogies between this particular model and the Randall-Sundrum scenario.
