We propose a general action describing the dynamics of lightlike (LL) p-branes in any odd (p+1) world-volume dimensions. Next, we consider self-consistent coupling of \textsl{LL}-membranes (p=2) to D=4 Einstein-Maxwell system plus a D=4…

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…

An analysis of a spherically symmetric braneworld configuration is performed when the intrinsic curvature scalar is included in the bulk action. In the case when the electric part of the Weyl tensor is zero, all the exterior solutions are…
