In the Randall–Sundrum (RS) brane-world model a singular delta-function source is matched by the second derivative of the warp factor. So one should take possible curvature corrections in the effective action of the RS models in the Gauss–Bonnet (GB) form. We present a linearized treatment of gravity in the RS brane-world with the Gauss–Bonnet modifications to Einstein gravity. We give explicit expressions for the Neumann propagator in arbitrary D dimensions and show that a bulk GB term gives, along with a tower of Kaluza–Klein modes in the bulk, a massless graviton on the brane, as in the standard RS model. Moreover, a nontrivial GB coupling can allow a new branch of solutions with finite Planck scale and no naked bulk singularity, which might be useful to avoid some of the previously known "no-go theorems" for RS brane-world compactifications.

The one-loop Vilkovisky effective potential which is not dependent on a gauge and a parametrization of quantum field, is investigated. We have considered Einstein gravity on a background manifold of (flat space) × (d−4- sphere) or × (d−4- dimensional torus ), d is even, and of R3 × (1- sphere ), where R3 is flat space. The numerical calculation for the cases R4 × Td−4 (d = 6,8,10) and R3 × S1 is done. The solution to the one-loop corrected equations of motion is found, although the spontaneous compactification is not stable in these cases.

We follow Witten's proposal1 in the calculation of conformal anomaly from (d + 1)-dimensional higher derivative gravity via AdS/CFT correspondence. It is assumed that some d-dimensional conformal field theories have a description in terms of above (d + 1)-dimensional higher derivative gravity which includes not only the Einstein term and cosmological constant but also curvature squared terms. The explicit expression for two-dimensional and four-dimensional anomalies is found, it contains higher derivative corrections. In particular, it is shown that not only Einstein gravity but also theory with the Lagrangian L =aR2 + bRμνRμν + Λ (even when a=0 or b=0) is five-dimensional bulk theory for [Formula: see text] super-Yang–Mills theory in AdS/CFT correspondence. Similarly, the d + 1 = 3 theory with (or without) Einstein term may describe d = 2 scalar or spinor CFT's. That gives new versions of bulk side which may be useful in different aspects. As application of our general formalism we find next-to-leading corrections to the conformal anomaly of [Formula: see text] supersymmetric theory from d = 5 AdS higher derivative gravity (low energy string effective action).

This paper presents a discussion of the role of quantum effects in Kaluza–Klein theories. It is demonstrated why it is not possible to examine the existence of self-consistent solutions induced by quantum corrections to the classical theory if only the vacuum energy is used. The importance of the induced gravity and induced Yang–Mills terms in the effective action are emphasized. General criteria are given for the existence of self-consistent solutions in certain cases, and an expression is given for the gauge-coupling constant. Quantization of five-dimensional gravity with a cosmological constant is considered. Expressions are given for the constants that multiply the induced gravity and Yang–Mills terms in the one-loop effective action for this theory. Although the theory is one-loop finite, the necessity for performing finite renormalizations—a fact that has hitherto been overlooked—is discussed. Results of an analysis of the stability of self-consistent solutions are given, where it is shown why many of the solutions are unstable to small perturbations. A number of prospects for future work are given.

The one-loop effective action (the Casimir gravitational energy) of the aribitrary Einstein supergravity on the background [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the Minkowski space with non-zero temperature, Td is the d-dimensional torus, is calculated. The problem of quantum breaking of supersymmetry is discussed. The Vilkovisky-De Witt effective action in the D-dimensional Einstein gravity with the Λ-term on the background [Formula: see text] is found. An idea is expressed that a temperature phase transition in Kaluza-Klein theories is possible. For d=5 gravity, the Vilkovisky-De Witt effective action on the [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is four-dimensional curved space-time with non-zero temperature, is found.

Abstract We establish an explicit correspondence of Einstein gravity on the squashed spheres that are the U(1) bundles over ℂℙm to the Kaluza-Klein AdS gravity on the tori. This allows us to map the Ricci-flat Kerr metrics in odd dimensions with all equal angular momenta to charged Kaluza-Klein AdS black holes that can be lifted to become singly rotating M-branes and D3-branes. Furthermore, we find maps between Ricci-flat gravitational instantons to the AdS domain walls. In particular the supersymmetric bolt instantons correspond to domain walls that can be interpreted as distributed M-branes and D3-branes, whilst the non-supersymmetric Taub-NUT solutions yield new domain walls that can be lifted to become solutions in M-theory or type IIB supergravity. The correspondence also inspires us to obtain a new superpotential in the Kaluza-Klein AdS gravity in four dimensions.

In the present paper a general expression of quantum effective action for arbitrary d-dimensional supergravity on the background Rn×Td−n′ where Rn is n-dimensional curved space-time, Td is d-dimensional torus, is obtained as an expansion on the curvature and its derivatives. The mechanism of inducing Einstein gravity with zero Λ term is proposed. It is shown that the 4-dimensional gravity with the true sign of the Newton constant is induced from d=5 supergravity when antiperiodic boundary conditions are chosen for all fields of supermultiplet. The one-loop effective action is obtained for d=4, 5, 7, 10 supergravities with the accuracy of linear curvature terms. The one-loop Vilcovisky-De Witt effective action is also obtained for d=5 SG’s with the accuracy of linear curvature terms.

Kaluza–Klein reduction of 3-D gravity with minimal scalars leads to 2-D dilaton-Maxwell gravity with dilaton coupled scalars. Evaluating the one-loop effective action for dilaton coupled scalars in large-N and s-wave approximation, we apply it to study quantum evolution of BTZ black hole. It is shown that quantum-corrected BTZ BH may evaporate or else anti-evaporate which is similar to 4-D Nariai BH as is observed by Bousso and Hawking. Instable higher modes in the spectrum also indicate the possibility of proliferation of BTZ BH.
