TY - BOOK AU - Brane localized gravity AU - Mannheim Philip D ed TI - Brane localized gravity SN - 9.79E+12 U1 - 539.7258 PY - 2005/// PB - World Scientific KW - Branes KW - Gravity KW - Superstring theories N2 - 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is provided for both students and workers in the field, with a significant amount of the material being previously unpublished.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 issues not ordinarily treated in the brane-world literature, such as the completeness of tensor gravitational fluctuation modes, the causality of brane-world propagators, and the status of the massless graviton fluctuation mode in brane worlds in which it is not normalizable UR - http://repository.worldscinet.com/9789812703132.html ER -
