Gravity on a Dilatonic Gauss-Bonnet Brane World

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The effective four-dimensional, linearised gravity of a Randall-Sundrum-like brane world model is analysed. The model includes higher order curvature terms (such as the Gauss-Bonnet term) and a scalar field. The resulting brane worlds can have better agreement with observations than the equivalent Einstein gravity models.
