We suggest a mechanism by which four-dimensional Newtonian gravity emerges on a 3-brane in 5D Minkowski space with an infinite size extra dimension. The worldvolume theory gives rise to the correct 4D potential at short distances whereas at large distances the potential is that of a 5D theory. We discuss some phenomenological issues in this framework.

  1. Studying spherical collapse and its implications in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In EiBI gravity, spherical collapse yields lower linear thresholds, higher turnaround and virial overdensities, and modestly smaller turnaround radii than in ΛCDM, with effects increasing with the coupling κ̂_BI.

  2. Radio sirens: inferring $H_0$ with binary black holes and neutral hydrogen in the era of the Einstein Telescope and the SKA Observatory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Using simulated binary black hole mergers and neutral hydrogen maps, the radio sirens method constrains H0 to 8% precision with 3000 high-SNR events, offering a 90% improvement over standard dark siren analyses.

  3. Studying spherical collapse and its implications in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In EiBI gravity, spherical collapse needs regularized density profiles to handle singular gradient terms, yielding a lower linear collapse threshold, higher turnaround and virial overdensities, and slightly smaller tu...

  4. Testing Scale-Dependent Modified Gravity with DESI DR1

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 accept novelty 4.0

    DESI DR1 constrains the modified gravity parameter to log10 |f_R0| < -4.59 at 95% CL, implying no detectable fifth force on scales below about 18 Mpc.
