The formation of a thick brane in five-dimen\-sional space-time is investigated when warp geometries of $AdS_5$ type are induced by scalar matter dynamics and triggered by a thin-brane defect. The scalar matter is taken to consist of two…

The non-linear behaviour of Randall-Sundrum gravity with one brane is examined. Due to the non-compact extra dimension, the perturbation spectrum has no mass gap, and the long wavelength effective theory is only understood perturbatively.…
