Brane gravity in 4D from Chern-Simons gravity theory (2012.11593v1)

Abstract: We evaluate a 5-dimensional Randall Sundrum type metric in the Lagrangian of the Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity, and then we derive an action and its corresponding field equations, for a 4-dimensional brane embedded in the 5-dimensional space-time of the theory, which in the limit l--0 leads to the 4-dimensional general relativity with cosmological constant. An interpretation of the h*a matter field present in the Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity action is given. As an application, we find some Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker cosmological solutions that exhibit accelerated behavior.
