We generalize the mechanism proposed in [hep-th/0005016] and show that a four-dimensional relativistic tensor theory of gravitation can be obtained on a delta-function brane in flat infinite-volume extra space. In particular, we demonstrate that the induced Ricci scalar gives rise to Einstein's gravity on a delta-function type brane if the number of space-time dimensions is bigger than five. The bulk space exhibits the phenomenon of infrared transparency. That is to say, the bulk can be probed by gravitons with vanishing four-dimensional momentum square, while it is unaccessible to higher modes. This provides an attractive framework for solving the cosmological constant problem.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Derives conditions for viable screened radial solutions in multi-field de Sitter Galileons, showing curvature can mitigate superluminality at the cost of a finite validity range set by the strong-coupling point.

  2. Cosmological Constraints on the DGP Model in light of DESI DR2 2025 Data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    DESI DR2 combined with CC, SNIa and CMB priors give H0≈63–64 km s−1 Mpc−1 for flat/non-flat DGP and ΔAIC>100 against ΛCDM, strongly disfavoring the model.
