Abstract

In this paper we study the creation of brane-worlds in AdSAdS bulk. We first consider the simplest case of onebranes in AdS3AdS_3. In this case we are able to properly describe the creation of a spherically symmetric brane-world deriving a general expression for its wavefunction. Then, we sketch the AdSd+1AdS_{d+1} set-up within the context of the WKB approximation. Finally, we comment on these scenarios in light of the AdS/CFTAdS/CFT correspondence.
