Theoretical studies on more than three spatial dimensions are currently showing a distinct
shift toward the'brane world'picture, in which ordinary matter (with the possible exceptions of …

Abstract Models that involve extra dimensions have introduced completely new ways of
looking up on old problems in theoretical physics. The aim of the present notes is to provide …

We revive an old result, that one-loop corrections to the graviton propagator induce 1/r 3
corrections to the Newtonian gravitational potential, and compute the coefficient due to …

Brane worlds and large extra dimensions have attracted a lot of attention as possible new
paradigms for spacetime. I review the theory of gravity on 3-branes with a focus on the …

We discuss whether electric charge conservation may not hold in four-dimensional world in
models with infinite extra dimensions, ie whether escape of charged particles from our brane …

A general solution to the Einstein field equations with the Gauss–Bonnet (GB) term in an
AdS5 bulk background implies that the GB coupling α can take either sign (+ or−), though a …

This topical review deals with a multidimensional gravitational model containing dilatonic
scalar fields and antisymmetric forms. The manifold is chosen in the form M= M 0× M 1×···× …

By carefully analyzing the geodesic motion of a test particle in the bulk of brane worlds, we
identify an extra force which is recognized in a spacetime of one lower dimension as a …

We study the long distance behavior of brane theories with quasilocalized gravity. The five-
dimensional (5D) effective theory at large scales follows from a holographic renormalization …

We consider a brane generated by a scalar field domain wall configuration in 4+ 1
dimensions, interpolating, in most cases, between two vacua of the field. We study the …
