We study possible static non-Schwarzschild exteriors for nonstatic spherically symmetric stars in a Randall $&$ Sundrum type II braneworld scenario. Thus, the vacuum region outside the surface of a star is assumed to be a static solution to…
A striking characteristic of non-Schwarzschild vacuum exteriors is that they contain not only the total gravitational mass of the source, but also an {\it arbitrary} constant. In this work, we show that the constants appearing in the…
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.…
The minimal geometric deformation approach is employed to show the existence of brane-world stellar distributions with vacuum Schwarzschild exterior, thus without energy leaking from the exterior of the brane-world star into the extra…
It is well-known that Birkhoff's theorem is no longer valid in theories with more than four dimensions. Thus, in these theories the effective 4-dimensional picture allows the existence of different possible, non-Schwarzschild, scenarios for…
Stellar structure in braneworlds is markedly different from that in ordinary general relativity. As an indispensable first step towards a more general analysis, we completely solve the ``on brane'' 4-dimensional Gauss and Codazzi equations…
We carefully investigate the gravitational equations of the brane world, in which all the matter forces except gravity are confined on the 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime with $Z_2$ symmetry. We derive the effective gravitational…
We consider spherically symmetric matter configurations on a four dimensional "brane" embedded in a five dimensional $Z_2$-symmetric "bulk". We write the junction conditions between the interior and exterior of these "stars", treat a couple…
Various attempts to go beyond the theory of General Relativity start from the assumption that spacetime is not a 4-dimensional but rather a higher-dimensional manifold. Among others, braneworld scenarios postulate that the spacetime we…
If the observable universe is a braneworld of Randall-Sundrum type, then particle interactions at high energies will produce 5-dimensional gravitons that escape into the bulk. As a result, the Weyl energy density on the brane does not…
According to the braneworld idea, ordinary matter is confined on a 3-dimensional space (brane) that is embedded in a higher-dimensional space-time where gravity propagates. In this work, after reviewing the limits coming from general…
In the context of the braneworld, a method to find consistent solutions to Einstein's field equations in the interior of a spherically symmetric, static and non uniform stellar distribution with Weyl stresses is developed. This method,…
It has recently been suggested that our universe is a three-brane embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime. In this paper I examine static, spherically symmetric solutions that satisfy the effective Einstein field equations on a brane…
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…
The cosmology of the Randall-Sundrum scenario for a positive tension brane in a 5-D Universe with localized gravity has been studied extensively recently. Here we extend it to more general situations. We consider the time-dependent…
The general solution of Einstein's gravity equation in $D$ dimensions for an anisotropic and spherically symmetric matter distribution is calculated in a bulk with position dependent cosmological constant. Results for $n$ concentric…
In the Randall-Sundrum scenario we investigate the dynamics of a spherically symmetric 3-brane world when matter fields are present in the bulk. To analyze the 5-dimensional Einstein equations we employ a global conformal transformation…
We consider here the general conditions for the stability of brane stars that obey a so called a "minimal setup": the nonlocal anisotropic stress and energy flux are everywhere absent, and the only permitted Weyl correction is the interior…
We study the dipolar magnetic field configuration in dependence on brane tension and present solutions of Maxwell equations in the internal and external background spacetime of a magnetized spherical star in a Randall-Sundrum II type…
A static Friedmann brane in a 5-dimensional bulk (Randall-Sundrum type scenario) can have a very different relation between the density, pressure, curvature and cosmological constant than in the case of the general relativistic Einstein…
