It is shown that a localized four-dimensional Einstein term, induced by quantum corrections, modifies significantly the law of gravity in a Randall-Sundrum brane world. In particular, the short-distance behavior of gravity changes from…
We study braneworlds in a five dimensional bulk, where cosmological expansion is mimicked by motion through AdS$_5$. We show that the five dimensional graviton reduces to the four dimensional one in the late time approximation of such…
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…
