Positivity of Curvature-Squared Corrections in Gravity.
We study the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term as the leading higher-curvature correction to pure Einstein gravity. Assuming a tree-level ultraviolet completion free of ghosts or tachyons, we prove that the GB term has a nonnegative coefficient in dimensions greater than 4. Our result follows from unitarity of the spectral representation for a general ultraviolet completion of the GB term.
متن کاملScalar brane backgrounds in higher order curvature gravity
We investigate maximally symmetric brane world solutions with a scalar field. Five-dimensional bulk gravity is described by a general lagrangian which yields field equations containing no higher than second order derivatives. This includes the Gauss-Bonnet combination for the graviton. Stability and gravitational properties of such solutions are considered, and we particularily emphasise the mo...
متن کاملinfalling brane and moving domain wall in the brane cosmology
We discuss the brane cosmology in the 5D anti de Sitter Schwarzschild (AdSS 5) spacetime. A brane with the tension σ is defined as the edge of an AdSS 5 space. We point out that the location of the horizon is an apparently , singular point at where we may not define an embedding of the AdSS 5 spacetime into the moving domain wall (MDW). We resolve this problem by introducing a radially infallin...
متن کاملCurvature-induced domain wall pinning
It is shown that a local bend of a nanowire is a source of pinning potential for a transversal head-to-head (tail-to-tail) domain wall. Eigenfrequency of the domain wall free oscillations at the pinning potential and the effective friction are determined as functions of the curvature and domain wall width. The pinning potential originates from the effective curvature-induced Dzyaloshinsky-like ...
متن کامل4D gravity on a brane from bulk higher-curvature terms
We study a gravity model where a tensionful codimension-one threebrane 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.
