Abstract
We use nonlinear perturbation theory to obtain new solutions for brane world models thatincorporate a massive bulk scalar field. We then consider tensor perturbations and showthat Newtonian gravity is recovered on the brane for both a light scalar field and fora bulk field with large negative mass. This latter result points to the viabilityof higher-derivative theories of gravity in the context of bulk extra dimensions.
