Localizing gravity on a stringlike defect in six dimensions
@article{Gherghetta2000LocalizingGO, title={Localizing gravity on a stringlike defect in six dimensions}, author={Gherghetta and Shaposhnikov}, journal={Physical review letters}, year={2000}, volume={85 2}, pages={ 240-3 } }
We present a metric solution in six dimensions, where gravity is localized on a four-dimensional singular stringlike defect. The corrections to four-dimensional gravity from the bulk continuum modes are suppressed by O(1/r(3)). No tuning of the bulk cosmological constant to the brane tension is required in order to cancel the four-dimensional cosmological constant.

We present full numerical solutions to the system of a global string embedded in a six-dimensional space-time. The solutions are regular everywhere and do confine gravity in our four-dimensional…
Standard 4d gravity on a brane in six dimensional flux compactifications

We consider a six-dimensional space-time, in which two of the dimensions are compactified by a flux. Matter can be localized on a codimension one brane coupled to the bulk gauge field and wrapped…
