Gravitational potential correction with Gauss-Bonnet interaction

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A treatment of linearized gravity with the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet interaction terms in Dgeq 5 is given in the Randall-Sundrum brane background. This Letter has outlined some interesting features of the brane world gravity and Newtonian potential correction with the GB interaction term. We find that the GB coupling alpha renormalizes the effective four-dimensional Newton constant on the brane, and also additionally contributes to the correction term of the Newtonian potential. Indeed, the GB term does not affect the massless graviton mode and the Einstein gravity on the brane, and quite interestingly, such term in Dgeq5 appears to give more information about the necessary boundary condition(s) to be satisfied by the zero mode wavefunction on the brane(s). small (and preferably positive) GB coupling alpha.
