abstract

We carefully investigate the gravitational equations of the brane world, in which all the matter forces except gravity are confined on the 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime with $Z_2$ symmetry. We derive the effective gravitational equations on the brane, which reduce to the conventional Einstein equations in the low energy limit. {}From our general argument we conclude that the first Randall & Sundrum-type theory (RS1) [hep-ph/9905221] predicts that the brane with the negative tension is an anti-gravity world and hence should be excluded from the physical point of view. Their second-type theory (RS2) [hep-th/9906064] where the brane has the positive tension provides the correct signature of gravity. In this latter case, if the bulk spacetime is exactly anti-de Sitter, generically the matter on the brane is required to be spatially homogeneous because of the Bianchi identities. By allowing deviations from anti-de Sitter in the bulk, the situation will be relaxed and the Bianchi identities give just the relation between the Weyl tensor and the energy momentum tensor. In the present brane world scenario, the effective Einstein equations cease to be valid during an era when the cosmological constant on the brane is not well-defined, such as in the case of the matter dominated by the potential energy of the scalar field.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In AdS the fully gravitational Hartle-Hawking wave function acquires a nontrivial one-loop phase while the partially frozen version stays real and positive; a partially frozen de Sitter sphere shows phase cancellation.

    Analytic construction of a 5D rotating braneworld black hole using Janis-Newman algorithm in Hopf coordinates that induces Kerr on the brane and connects to AdS5 boundary through bulk anisotropic fluid.

  4. A new look at multi-gravity and dimensional deconstruction

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Keeping the lapse free in deconstruction yields scalar-tensor multi-gravity, which reproduces 5D Randall-Sundrum brane cosmology equations in the continuum limit.

  5. Massive Graviton Dark Matter from a Gapped Continuum

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Radiative corrections pull an isolated, long-lived massive graviton out of the gapped linear-dilaton continuum, giving a sub-MeV dark-matter candidate that can coexist with a holographic fluid component.

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

    From rQFC, a new CFT bound follows that forbids the QNEC from saturating faster than O(Σ^{d−2}) in near-vacuum states, while rQFC is proven in JT gravity and explicit QFC counterexamples are constructed.

    In an AdS/BCFT model with a brane-localized scalar, the authors derive a real-conformal-dimension constraint for dS/CFT, a time-like g-theorem, and a classification of constant-potential brane cosmologies including bi...

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A modified Teukolsky equation and the Dudley-Finley approximation give nearly the same LISA detectability bound for the braneworld tidal charge, with MTE mismatches growing faster for high-eccentricity EMRIs.

    Helical phase inflation, using the phase of a complex scalar as the inflaton, fits Planck 2018 and BICEP2 data and is claimed to show alpha-attractor behavior, with a brane version that reduces field excursions.

    A large-tension braneworld with α_U ≈ −0.15 fits NICER and GW170817 data for SLy, raising M_max to ~2.30 M_⊙ and R_1.4 to ~13.3 km relative to GR.
