D=11 supergravity possesses D=5 Calabi-Yau compactified solutions that may be identified with the vacua of the Horava-Witten orbifold construction for M--theory/heterotic duality. The simplest of these solutions naturally involves two…
We present a supersymmetric version of the two-brane Randall-Sundrum scenario, with arbitrary brane tensions T_1 and T_2, subject to the bound |T_{1,2}| \leq \sqrt{-6\Lambda_5}, where \Lambda_5 < 0 is the bulk cosmological constant.…
