Probing Solitons in Brane Worlds
Abstract
We study dynamics of a probe p-brane and a test particle in the field background of fully localized solutions describing the source p-brane within the worldvolume of the source domain wall. We find that the probe dynamics in the background of the source p-brane in one lower dimensions is not reproduced, indicating that p-branes within the worldvolume of domain walls perhaps describe an exotic phase of p-branes in brane worlds. We speculate therefore that a (p+1)-brane where one of its longitudinal directions is along the direction transverse to the domain wall is the right description of the p-brane in the brane world with the expected properties.
