We construct the covariant or model independent induced Einstein-Yang-Mills field equations on a 4-dimensional brane embedded isometrically in an D-dimensional bulk space, assuming the matter fields are confined to the brane. Applying this…
Recent developments in string theory have led to 5-dimensional warped spacetime models in which standard-model fields are confined to a 3-brane (the observed universe), while gravity can propagate in the fifth dimension. Gravity is…
The Randall-Sundrum scenario, with a 1+3-dimensional brane in a 5-dimensional bulk spacetime, can be generalized in various ways. We consider the case where the Z2-symmetry at the brane is relaxed, and in addition the gravitational action…
On a warped five-dimensional Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker(FLRW) spacetime, dark energy can be induced by a U(1) scalar-gauge field on the brane. We consider a zero effective cosmological constant, i.e., the Randall-Sundrum(RS)…
We provide a method to describe the geometry of an analytic, exponentially localized $5D$ rotating braneworld black hole, using the $5D$ Janis Newman algorithm in Hopf coordinates. The induced metric on the brane matches the standard $4D$…
We test the holographic conjecture for brane black holes: that a full classical 5D solution will correspond to a quantum corrected 4D black hole. We show that a Schwarzschild-AdS black string in the bulk can be consistently interpreted as a…
We consider type IIB (p,q) 5-branes in constant non-zero background tensor potentials, or equivalently, with finite constant field strength on the brane. At linear level, zero-modes are introduced and the physical degrees of freedom are…
We introduce brane-worlds with non-constant tension, strenghtening the analogy with fluid membranes, which exhibit a temperature-dependence according to the empirical law established by E\"otv\"os. This new degree of freedom allows for…
We study issues of the quintessence in the brane cosmology. The initial bulk spacetime consists of two 5D topological anti de Sitter black hole joined by the brane (moving domain wall). Here we do not introduce any conventional radiation…
Here we derive the exact Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole solution on a tensional codimension-2 brane, generalizing earlier Schwarzschild and Kerr results. We begin by briefly reviewing various aspects of codimension-2 branes that will be…
In brane-world cosmology gravitational waves can propagate in the higher dimensions (i.e., in the `bulk'). In some appropriate regimes the bulk gravitational waves may be approximated by plane waves. We systematically study five-dimensional…
By adopting the idea of Born-Infeld electromagnetism, the Born-Infeld determinantal gravity in Weitzenb\"ock spacetime provides a way to smooth the Big Bang singularity at the classical level. We consider a thick braneworld scenario in the…
Revisiting Einstein's gravitational theory, we build a five-dimensional braneworld. Within this framework, one announces the appearance of symmetric and asymmetric domain walls. Furthermore, it examines the emergent four-dimensional gravity…
We consider a thick p-brane embedded in an n-dimensional spacetime possessing radial symmetry in the directions orthogonal to the brane. We first consider a static brane, and find a general fine tuning relationship between the brane and…
In this paper we explore some general aspects of the embeddings associated with brane-localized gravity. In particular we show that the consistency of such embeddings can require (or impose) very specific relations between all the involved…
We present some exact non-uniform black string solutions of 5-dimensional pure Einstein gravity as well as Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory at arbitrary dilaton coupling. The solutions share the common property that their 4-dimensional…
We perform a comprehensive analysis of a number of scalar field theories in a attempt to find analytically 5-dimensional, localised-on-the-brane, black-hole solutions. Extending a previous analysis, we assume a generalised Vaidya ansatz for…
Recent developments in string theory suggest that there might exist extra spatial dimensions, which are not small nor compact. The framework of most brane cosmological models is that in which the matter fields are confined on a brane-world…
A correlation between accelerated motion and a noncompact 5th dimension is proposed. The curvature invariants and the stress energy tensor in the bulk depend only on the 5th dimension $w$ and vanish asymptotically while the proper…
We consider brane-world models embedded in a five-dimensional bulk spacetime with a large extra dimension and a cosmological constant. The cosmology in $5D$ possesses "wave-like" character in the sense that the metric coefficients in the…
