Constraints on a spherically symmetric 5-d braneworld

Abstract

We study the effect of the extrinsic curvature within the context of braneworld with constant curvature and the restrictions on a spherically symmetric geometry embedded in a 5-d bulk. As a counterexample, we recover the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole but with umbilical points. In a second case we find the correct geometrical structure of a black hole but the Newtonian gravity cannot be restored implying that a higher dynamical embedding must be considered.
