Brane induced gravity in warped backgrounds and the absence of the radion

A model with brane-localized curvature terms in a warped background is proposed. The model is based on the Randall-Sundrum solution for the background metric and possesses some interesting features, in particular, the radion field is absent in it. Although there is no modification of gravity at long distances, the model predicts deviations from Newton's law at short distances. This effect can be observed in the experiments for testing gravity at sub-millimeter scales.
