Abstract

We present a new (p1)(p - 1)-brane solution to Einstein's equations in a general space-time dimension. This solution is a natural generalization of the stringlike defect solution with codimension 2 in 6 space-time dimensions, which has been recently discovered by Gogberashvili and Singleton, to a general (p1)(p - 1)-brane solution with codimension nn in general D=p+nD = p + n space-time dimensions. It is shown that all the local fields are localized on the brane only through the gravitational interaction although this solution does not have a warp factor and takes a finite value in the radial infinity. Thus, this solution is a solution in an arbitrary space-time dimension realizing the idea of "gravitational trapping" of the whole bulk fields on the brane within the framework of a local field theory. Some problems associated with this solution and localization are pointed out.
