Abstract
We study five dimensional brane physics induced by an O(2) texture formed in one extra dimension. The model contains two 3-branes of nonzero tension, and the extra dimension is compact. The symmetry-breaking scale of the texture controls the particle hierarchy between the two branes. The TeV-scale particles are confined to the negative-tension brane where the observer sees gravity as essentially four dimensional. The effect of massive Kaluza-Klein gravitons is suppressed.
