We suggest a mechanism by which four-dimensional Newtonian gravity emerges on a 3-brane in 5D Minkowski space with an infinite size extra dimension. The worldvolume theory gives rise to the correct 4D potential at short distances whereas at large distances the potential is that of a 5D theory. We discuss some phenomenological issues in this framework.

  1. Studying spherical collapse and its implications in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In EiBI gravity, spherical collapse yields lower linear thresholds, higher turnaround and virial overdensities, and modestly smaller turnaround radii than in ΛCDM, with effects increasing with the coupling κ̂_BI.

  2. Bubbling wormholes and matrix models

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Sums over representations of half-BPS Wilson loops in SYM matrix models are dual to bubbling wormhole geometries of multi-covered AdS5 x S5 with intersecting S4 boundaries.

  3. Radio sirens: inferring $H_0$ with binary black holes and neutral hydrogen in the era of the Einstein Telescope and the SKA Observatory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Using simulated binary black hole mergers and neutral hydrogen maps, the radio sirens method constrains H0 to 8% precision with 3000 high-SNR events, offering a 90% improvement over standard dark siren analyses.

  4. Studying spherical collapse and its implications in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In EiBI gravity, spherical collapse needs regularized density profiles to handle singular gradient terms, yielding a lower linear collapse threshold, higher turnaround and virial overdensities, and slightly smaller tu...

  5. Two types of quasinormal modes of Casadio-Fabbri-Mazzacurati brane-world black holes

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quasinormal modes of massive scalars in CFM brane-world black holes split into two types, with modes disappearing at critical masses where real or imaginary frequency parts reach zero.

  6. Relativistic strange quark stars in Lovelock gravity

    gr-qc 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Numerical computation of mass-radius profiles, compactness, and gravitational redshift for strange quark stars in 5D Gauss-Bonnet gravity across several values of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter.

  7. Testing Scale-Dependent Modified Gravity with DESI DR1

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 accept novelty 4.0

    DESI DR1 constrains the modified gravity parameter to log10 |f_R0| < -4.59 at 95% CL, implying no detectable fifth force on scales below about 18 Mpc.

  8. Galaxy and halo angular clustering in LCDM and Modified Gravity cosmologies

    astro-ph.CO 2022-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    N-body light-cone mocks show 2-4 sigma deviations in third-order angular clustering between LCDM and f(R)/nDGP models at z=0.15-0.3 for halos and galaxies, with stronger signals in the dark-matter field.

  9. Noncanonical Approaches To Inflation

    gr-qc 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    A review thesis covering Mukhanov parametrization, general scalar-tensor theories, and new slow-roll techniques for canonical and noncanonical inflation observables.
