Description

We discuss the semiclassical instability of the Randall-Sundrum brane-world model against the creation of a kind of Kaluza-Klein bubble. An example describing such a bubble space-time is constructed from the five-dimensional anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild metric. The induced geometry of the brane looks like the Einstein-Rosen bridge, which connects the positive and the negative tension branes. The bubble rapidly expands and there a trapped region also forms around it
