We study the fluctuation spectrum of linearized gravity around non-fine-tuned branes. We focus on the case of an AdS4 brane in AdS5. In this case, for small cosmological constant, the warp factor near the brane is essentially that of a Minkowski brane. However, far from the brane, the metric differs substantially. The space includes the AdS5 boundary, so it has infinite volume. Nonetheless, for sufficiently small AdS4 cosmological constant, there is a bound state graviton in the theory, and four-dimensional gravity is reproduced. However, it is a massive bound state that plays the role of the four-dimensional graviton.

  1. A Tale of Two Hartle-Hawking Wave Functions: Fully Gravitational vs Partially Frozen

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In AdS the fully gravitational Hartle-Hawking wave function acquires a nontrivial one-loop phase while the partially frozen version stays real and positive; a partially frozen de Sitter sphere shows phase cancellation.

  2. Decoding multiway gravitational junctions in AdS in terms of holographic quantum maps

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Multiway AdS junctions dualize to factorized quantum maps on CFT interfaces, with scattering matrix fixed by junction tension and automorphisms from n-1 stringy modes, independent of background state.

  3. Covariant Locally Localized Gravity and vDVZ Continuity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In the Karch-Randall braneworld the zero-graviton-mass limit of the one-loop partition function is a massless graviton plus a decoupled massive vector, not the pure Randall-Sundrum II model.

  4. Large-c BCFT Entanglement Entropy with Deformed Boundaries from Emergent JT Gravity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    At large central charge, BCFT von Neumann entropy with deformed boundaries is reproduced by island entropy in an emergent JT gravity setup with transparent boundary conditions set by the deformation.

  5. Kerr-Schild Double Copy of the Randall-Sundrum Black String

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Kerr-Schild double copy of the RS II black string produces a sourceless Maxwell single copy and a warp-induced massive scalar zeroth copy, with an alternative splitting giving inequivalent gauge and scalar fields.

  6. Quantum Solitons

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quantum soliton solutions in AdS3 are constructed via branes in 4D AdS C-metric, with negative-mass cases describing thermal CFT backreaction on global AdS3 and positive-mass cases replacing horizons with smooth origins.

  7. Holographic complexity of conformal fields in global de Sitter spacetime

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Holographic complexity of CFTs in global dS_d is computed via volume and action prescriptions in AdS foliation and brane setups, then compared to results from static and Poincare patches.

    Open Virasoro TQFT computes 3d gravity path integrals on compact regions using threshold-dependent boundary conditions and yields an open-closed duality relating Conformal Turaev-Viro theory to the diagonal sector of ...
