Non-uniform Braneworld Stars: an Exact Solution

In this paper the first exact interior solution to Einstein’s field equations for a static and non-uniform braneworld star with local and non-local bulk terms is presented. It is shown that the bulk Weyl scalar U(r) is always negative inside the stellar distribution, in consequence it reduces both the effective density and the effective pressure. It is found that the anisotropy generated by bul...

Braneworld Stars: Anisotropy Minimally Projected Onto the Brane

In the context of the Randall-Sundrum braneworld, an exhaustive and detailed description of the approach based in the minimal anisotropic consequence onto the brane, which has been successfully used to generate exact interior solutions to Einstein’s field equations for static and non-uniform braneworld stars with local and non-local bulk terms, is carefully presented. It is shown that this appr...

Searching Exact Solutions for Compact Stars in Braneworld: a conjecture

In the context of the braneworld, a spherically symmetric, static and nonhomogeneous stellar distribution with local and non-local bulk terms is studied. Using a toy solution, it is shown how the general relativistic limit could be lost while a solution is being generated on the brane. The source of this problem is clearly identified and solved by a general solution where a constraint can be id...

Braneworld in Six Dimensions

We consider a dynamical brane world in a six-dimensional spacetime containing a singularity. Using the Israel conditions we study the motion of a 4-brane embedded in this setup. We analyse the brane behaviour when its position is perturbed about a fixed point and solve the full nonlinear dynamics in the several possible scenarios. We also investigate the possible gravitational shortcuts and cal...
