A self-tuning exact solution and the non-existence of horizons in 5d gravity-scalar system

Description

We present an exact thick domain wall solution with naked sigularities to five dimensional gravity coupled with a scalar field with exponential potential. In our solution we found exactly the special coefficient of the exponent as coming from compactification of string theory with cosmological constant. We show that this solution is self-tuning when a 3-brane is included. In searching for solution with horizon we found a similar exact solution with fine-tuned exponent coefficient with an integration constant. Failed to find a solution with horizon we prove the non-existence of horizons. These naked sigularities actually can't be resolved by horizon. We also comment on the physical relevance of this solution. (author)
