Non-linear Brane Dynamics in 6 Dimensions

We consider a dynamical brane world in a six dimensional spacetime containing a singularity. Using the Israel conditions we study the motion of a 4-brane embedded in this setup. We analize the brane behavior when its position is perturbed about a fixed point and solve the full non-linear dynamics in the several possible scenarios. We also investigate the possible gravitational shortcuts and calculate the delay between graviton and photon signals and the ratio of the corresponding subtended horizons.
