Curvature as a remedy or discretizing gravity in warped dimensions

  • 1. Jefferson Physical Laboratory, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138 (United States)

Description

The attempt to discretize gravity in flat space is foiled by the appearance of strongly interacting long wave-length longitudinal modes. In this paper we show how the introduction of sites with different scales, or equivalently curvature in the bulk, ameliorate all the problems encountered in flat space associated with long wave-length modes. However, as one could expect, all such problem resurface once the mode's wave-length is smaller than the bulk curvature
