Abstract
We show that smooth domain wall spacetimes supported by a scalar field separating two anti-de-Sitter like regions admit a single graviton bound state. Our analysis yields a fully non-linear supergravity treatment of the Randall-Sundrum model. Our solutions describe a pp-wave propagating in the domain wall background spacetime. If the latter is BPS, our solutions retain some supersymmetry. Nevertheless, the Kaluza-Klein modes generate ``pp curvature'' singularities in the bulk located where the horizon of AdS would ordinarily be.
