Abstract

We study Einstein's equation in (m+n)D(m+n)D and (1+n)D(1+n)D warped spaces (Mˉ,gˉ)(\bar{M},\bar{g}) and classify all such spaces satisfying Einstein equations Gˉ=Λˉgˉ\bar{G}=-\bar{\Lambda}\bar{g}. We show that the warping function not only can determine the cosmological constant Λˉ\bar{\Lambda} but also it can determine the cosmological constant Λ{\Lambda} appearing in the induced Einstein equations G=Λh{G}=-{\Lambda}{h} on (M2,h)(M_2, h). Moreover, we discuss on the origin of the 4D4D cosmological constant as an emergent effect of higher dimensional warped spaces.
