Improving the `self-tuning' mechanism with a Gauss-Bonnet term
Stephen C. Davis
The effects of higher order gravity terms on a dilatonic brane world model are discussed. For a single positive tension flat 3-brane, and one infinite extra dimension, we present a…

Generalised Israel Junction Conditions for a Gauss-Bonnet Brane World
Stephen C. Davis
In spacetimes of dimension greater than four it is natural to consider higher order (in R) corrections to the Einstein equations. In this letter generalized Israel junction conditi…

Avoidance of Naked Singularities in Dilatonic Brane World Scenarios with a Gauss-Bonnet Term
Pierre Binetruy, Christos Charmousis, Stephen C Davis +1
We consider, in 5 dimensions, the low energy effective action induced by heterotic string theory including the leading stringy correction of order alpha'. In the presence of a sing…
