Localizing Gravity on a 3-brane in Higher Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We present metric solutions in six and higher dimensions with a bulk cosmological constant, where gravity is localized on a 3-brane. The corrections to four-dimensional gravity from the bulk continuum modes are power-law suppressed. Furthermore, the introduction of a bulk ``hedgehog'' magnetic field leads to a regular geometry, and can localize gravity on the 3-brane with either positive, zero or negative bulk cosmological constant.
