Abstract

We investigate the linearized gravity on a single de Sitter brane in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) bulk in the Einstein Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory. We find that the Einstein gravity is recovered for a high energy brane, i.e., in the limit of the large expansion rate, H1H\ell\gg 1, where HH is the de Sitter expansion rate and \ell is the curvature radius of the AdS bulk. We also show that, in the short distance limit rmin{,H1}r\ll \min\{\ell,H^{-1}\}, the Brans-Dicke gravity is obtained, whereas in the large distance limit rmax{,H1}r\gg\max\{\ell,H^{-1}\}, the Brans-Dicke gravity is obtained for H=O(1)H\ell=O(1), and the Einstein gravity is recovered both for H1H\ell\gg1 and H1H\ell\ll1. In the limit H0H\ell\to0, these results smoothly match to the results known for the Minkowski brane.
