Smeared branes and the Gubser-Mitra conjecture
Paul Bostock, Simon F. Ross
We show that smeared brane solutions, where a charged black p-brane is smeared uniformly over one of the transverse directions, can have a Gregory-Laflamme type dynamical instabili…

Einstein gravity on the codimension 2 brane?
Paul Bostock, Ruth Gregory, Ignacio Navarro +1
We look at general braneworlds in six-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We find the general matching conditions for the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet braneworld, which remarkably…
