Abstract Details

2007, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Physics.
In this thesis we use perturbative methods to solve the gravitational field equations to construct solutions that describe black branes in Randall-Sundrum (RS) and Arkani-Hamed - Dimopoulos - Dvali (ADD) braneworld models. In the ADD model we consider a black hole localized on the visible brane with a horizon radius smaller than the compactified dimension and calculate the corrections due to the compactification. Performing a similar calculation in the RS model we show that the existence of a black hole implies an asymptotic spacetime that depends on half-integer powers of the mass. We also construct solutions that describe black branes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity. In all cases we calculate important thermodynamical properties and investigate the stability of the solutions.
