The authors' main claim However, because the bulk inflates as well as the branes, this class of solutions suffers from Newton's constant tending toward zero on the TeV brane, where the Randall-Sundrum mechanism should solve the weak scale hierarchy problem.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

We generalize solutions of Einstein's equations for intersecting branes in higher dimensional spacetimes to the nonstatic case, modeling an expanding universe. The relation between the Hubble rate, the brane tensions, and the bulk cosmological constant is similar to the case of a single 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime. However, because the bulk inflates as well as the branes, this class of solutions suffers from Newton's constant tending toward zero on the TeV brane, where the Randall-Sundrum mechanism should solve the weak scale hierarchy problem. The strength of gravity remains constant on the Planck brane, however.
