Conformal symmetry of brane world effective actions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

A simple derivation of the low-energy effective action for brane worlds is given, highlighting the role of conformal invariance. We show how to improve the effective action for a positive- and negative-tension brane pair using the AdS/CFT correspondence.
