Induced Curvature in Brane Worlds by Surface Terms in String Effective Actions with Higher-Curvature Corrections
نویسندگان
چکیده
In string-inspired effective actions, representing the low-energy bulk dynamics of brane/string theories, the higher-curvature ghost-free Gauss-Bonnet combination is obtained by local field redefinitions which leave the (perturbative) string amplitudes invariant. We show that such redefinitions lead to surface terms which induce curvature on the brane world boundary of the bulk spacetime. ∗ email address: [email protected] ∗∗ email address: [email protected]

Curvature terms in D-brane actions and their M-theory origin
We derive the complete (curvature) terms of effective D-brane actions, for arbitrary ambient geometries and world-volume embeddings, at lowest order (disk-level) in the string-loop expansion. These terms reproduce the o(α′ ) corrections to string scattering amplitudes, and are consistent with duality conjectures. In the particular case of the D3-brane with trivial normal bundle, considerations ...
متن کاملترمودینامیک سیاهچاله‌های چرخان و گرانش با تصحیحات مرتبه اول نظریه ریسمان
In this paper, the rotating black brane solutions with zero curvature horizon of classical gravity with first order string corrections are introduced. Although these solutions are not asymptotically anti de Sitter, one can use the counterterm method in order to compute the conserved quantities of these solutions. Here, by reviewing the counterterm method for asymptotically anti de Sitter spac...
متن کاملIntersecting hypersurfaces and Lovelock Gravity
A theory of gravity in higher dimensions is considered. The usual Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented with Lovelock terms, of higher order in the curvature tensor. These terms are important for the low energy action of string theories. The intersection of hypersurfaces is studied in the Lovelock theory. The study is restricted to hypersurfaces of co-dimension 1, (d− 1)-dimensional submanifo...
متن کاملDFTT 19/95 Cosmological Solutions of Higher-Curvature String Effective Theories with Dilatons
We study the effect of higher-curvature terms in the string low-energy effective actions on the cosmological solutions of the theory, up to corrections quartic in the curvatures, for the bosonic and heterotic strings as well as for the type II superstring. We find that cosmological solutions exist for all string types but they always disappear when the dilaton field is included, a conclusion th...
متن کاملGauss-Bonnet Brane World Gravity with a Scalar Field
The effective four-dimensional, linearised gravity of a brane world model with one extra dimension and a single brane is analysed [1, 2]. The model includes higher order curvature terms (such as the Gauss-Bonnet term) and a conformally coupled scalar field. Large and small distance gravitational laws are derived. In contrast to the corresponding Einstein gravity models, it is possible to obtain...
