We consider brane-induced gravity model in more than one extra dimensions, regularized by assuming that the bulk gravity is soft in ultraviolet. We study linear theory about flat multi-dimensional space-time and flat brane. We first find that this model allows for violation of equivalence between gravitational and inertial masses of brane matter. We then observe that the model has a scalar ghost field localized near the brane, as well as quasi-localized massive graviton. Pure tensor structure of four-dimensional gravity on the brane at intermediate distances is due to the cancellation between the extra polarization of the massive graviton, and the ghost. This is completely analogous to the situation in the GRS model.

Radial Solutions of Multi-Field de Sitter Galileons
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.

Higher co-dimension de Sitter branes
A no-go theorem shows that thin co-dimension-two branes cannot support de Sitter vacua in compactified supergravity, and higher co-dimensions need negative tension.
