Quadratic field equations on the brane

It is shown that four dimensional vacuum Einstein solutions simply embedded in five dimensions obey the Gauss-Bonnet-Einstein field equations: $G_{ab}+\alpha GB_{ab}+\delta^{55}_{ab}\alpha\exp(-2\chi/\sqrt{\alpha})GB_4=0$ and the Pauli-Einstein equations $G_{ab}-3\alpha P_{ab}/5=0$, and the Bach-Einstein equations $B_{ab}=0$. General equations are calculated for which these and similar results follow. It is briefly argued that such field equations could be significant on large distance scales.
