We argue that the cosmological constant problem can be solved in a braneworld model with infinite-volume extra dimensions, avoiding no-go arguments applicable to theories that are four-dimensional in the infrared. Gravity on the brane…
We study Einstein's equation in $(m+n)D$ and $(1+n)D$ warped spaces $(\bar{M},\bar{g})$ and classify all such spaces satisfying Einstein equations $\bar{G}=-\bar{\Lambda}\bar{g}$. We show that the warping function not only can determine the…
