4D GRAVITY ON A BRANE FROM BULK HIGHER-CURVATURE TERMS

    We study a gravity model where a tensionful codimension-one three-brane is embedded in a bulk with infinite transverse length. We find that 4D gravity is induced on the brane already at the classical level if we include higher-curvature (Gauss–Bonnet) terms in the bulk. Consistency conditions appear to require a negative brane tension as well as a negative coupling for the higher-curvature terms.
