Contents:
Why higher dimensions are interesting -- The Randall-Sundrum set-up -- General structure of anti-de sitter spacetimes -- General properties of embeddings -- The Israel junction conditions -- The Newtonian limit of an embedded brane -- Embedding of static Robertson-Walker branes and negative pressure -- Embedding of de sitter and anti-de sitter branes in Ads5 -- Embedding of non-static Robertson-Walker branes in Ads5 -- Embedding Robertson-Walker brane worlds in M(4. 2) -- Null geodesics of Ads5 bulks containing Robertson-Walker branes -- Generalized Einstein equations on the brane -- General structure of brane-world gravitational fluctuations -- Transverse-traceless M4 fluctuation modes -- Transverse-traceless dSqIAdS4 fluctuation Modes -- Normalization of Fluctuation Modes and Curved Space Gauss's Law -- Fluctuations around an Embedded positive-tension Minkowski brane -- Fluctuations around an embedded negative-tension Minkowski brane -- Fluctuations around an embedded positive-tension Ads brane -- Equivalent Schrodinger equation treatment of the fluctuation equation -- Fuctuations around an embedded positive-tension dS brane -- Dynamically generated domain walls and the brane world.
Summary: This timely and valuable book provides a detailed pedagogical introduction and treatment of the brane-localized gravity program of Randall and Sundrum, in which gravitational signals are able to localize around our four-dimensional world in the event that it is a brane embedded in an infinitely-sized, higher dimensional anti-de Sitter bulk space. A completely self-contained development of the material needed for brane-world studies is provided for both students and workers in the field, with a significant amount of the material being previously unpublished. Particular attention is given to iss.
