We discuss the weak gravitational field created by isolated matter sources in the Randall-Sundrum brane-world. In the case of two branes of opposite tension, linearized Brans-Dicke (BD) gravity is recovered on either wall, with different BD parameters. On the wall with positive tension the BD parameter is larger than 3000 provided that the separation between walls is larger than 4 times the AdS radius. For the wall of negative tension, the BD parameter is always negative but greater than -3/2. In either case, shadow matter from the other wall gravitates upon us. For equal Newtonian mass, light deflection from shadow matter is 25 % weaker than from ordinary matter. Hence, the effective mass of a clustered object containing shadow dark matter would be underestimated if naively measured through its lensing effect. For the case of a single wall of positive tension, Einstein gravity is recovered on the wall to leading order, and if the source is stationary the field stays localized near the wall. We calculate the leading Kaluza-Klein corrections to the linearized gravitational field of a non-relativistic spherical object and find that the metric is different from the Schwarzschild solution at large distances. We believe that our linearized solution corresponds to the field far from the horizon after gravitational collapse of matter on the brane.

  1. A Tale of Two Hartle-Hawking Wave Functions: Fully Gravitational vs Partially Frozen

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In AdS the fully gravitational Hartle-Hawking wave function acquires a nontrivial one-loop phase while the partially frozen version stays real and positive; a partially frozen de Sitter sphere shows phase cancellation.

  2. Entanglement probes of gravitational Kaluza-Klein spectra: signal hierarchy and model discrimination

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    QGEM signals show stable hierarchy ADD > gapped continuum > RSII at submillimeter distances, with normalized phase profiles discriminating RSII from the other two models.

  3. Kerr-Schild Double Copy of the Randall-Sundrum Black String

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Kerr-Schild double copy of the RS II black string produces a sourceless Maxwell single copy and a warp-induced massive scalar zeroth copy, with an alternative splitting giving inequivalent gauge and scalar fields.
