Abstract

We construct intersecting brane configurations in Anti-de-Sitter space localizing gravity to the intersection region, with any number nn of extra dimensions. This allows us to construct two kinds of theories with infinitely large new dimensions, TeV scale quantum gravity and sub-millimeter deviations from Newton's Law. The effective 4D Planck scale MPlM_{Pl} is determined in terms of the fundamental Planck scale MM_* and the AdSAdS radius of curvature LL via the familiar relation MPl2M2+nLnM_{Pl}^2 \sim M_{*}^{2+n} L^n; LL acts as an effective radius of compactification for gravity on the intersection. Taking MM_* \sim TeV and LL \sim sub-mm reproduces the phenomenology of theories with large extra dimensions. Alternately, taking ML1MPlM_* \sim L^{-1} \sim M_{Pl}, and placing our 3-brane a distance 100MPl1\sim 100 M_{Pl}^{-1} away from the intersection gives us a theory with an exponential determination of the Weak/Planck hierarchy.
