Braneworld with induced axial symmetry

Abstract

We take arbitrary gravitational perturbations of a 5d spacetime and reduce it to the form an axially symmetric warped braneworld. Then, we write the filed equations for the linearized gravity perturbations. We obtain the equations that describes the graviton, gravivector and the graviscalar fluctuations and analyse the effects of the Schrödinger potentials that appear in these equations.
