abstract

We show that in a Randall-Sundrum II type braneworld, the vacuum exterior of a spherical star is not in general a Schwarzschild spacetime, but has radiative-type stresses induced by 5-dimensional graviton effects. Standard matching conditions do not lead to a unique exterior on the brane because of these 5-dimensional graviton effects. We find an exact uniform-density stellar solution on the brane, and show that the general relativity upper bound $GM/R<{4\over9}$ is reduced by 5-dimensional high-energy effects. The existence of neutron stars leads to a constraint on the brane tension that is stronger than the big bang nucleosynthesis constraint, but weaker than the Newton-law experimental constraint. We present two different non-Schwarzschild exteriors that match the uniform-density star on the brane, and we give a uniqueness conjecture for the full 5-dimensional problem.

  1. Employing shadow radius to constrain extra dimensions in black string space-time with dark matter halo

    gr-qc 2024-12 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    EHT shadow sizes give P̃_y≤0.17 for extra-dimensional photon momentum and k≤0.074 for halo compactness, but the headline 2.16 to 2.6 mm extra-dimension length is not robust.

  2. Compact stars in a large-tension braneworld: mildly negative Weyl coupling consistent with NICER and gravitational-wave data

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Buchdahl stars and bounds with cosmological constant

    gr-qc 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Generalized Buchdahl bounds on horizonless object compactness are derived in the presence of a cosmological constant, preserving universality while yielding method-dependent results.

  4. Astrophysical environment around a black hole in the braneworld and its optical signatures

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Braneworld quadratic and nonlocal corrections weaken gravity in anisotropic Einstein-cluster environments around black holes, blocking horizon formation and shifting Einstein-ring and shadow radii in ways that may con...
