Cascading gravity and degravitationThis paper was presented at the Theory CANADA 4 conference, held at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques at the Université de Montréal, Québec, Canada on 4–7 June 2008.
Open accessAbstract
Cascading gravity is an explicit realization of the idea of degravitation, where gravity behaves as a high-pass filter. This could explain why a large cosmological constant does not backreact as much as anticipated from standard General Relativity. The model relies on the presence of at least two infinite extra dimensions while our world is confined on a four-dimensional brane. Gravity is then four-dimensional at short distances and becomes weaker and weaker at larger distances.

Cascading gravity is based on scenarios where higher dimensional gravity goes through steps cascading down to 4D gravity.
“Moreover, cascading gravity has been proposed and is based on scenarios where higher dimensional gravity goes through steps cascading from down to 4D gravity, as for example one transitions from larger scales to smaller and smaller scales, see for example de Rham et al. (2008a, b), de Rham (2009), Corradini et al. (2008a, b), Kaloper and Kiley (2007) and Kaloper (2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
