PT Journal AU Bazeia, D Lobao, AS Losano, L Menezes, R Olmo, GJ TI Braneworld solutions for modified theories of gravity with nonconstant curvature SO Physical Review D JI Phys. Rev. D PY 2015 BP 124006 - 11pp VL 91 IS 12 DI 10.1103/PhysRevD.91.124006 LA English AB We study braneworld models in the presence of scalar field in a five-dimensional geometry with a single extra dimension of infinite extent, with gravity modified to include a function of the Ricci scalar. We develop a procedure that allows us to obtain an analytical solution for the braneworld configuration in a diversity of models, in the much harder case where the Ricci scalar is a nonconstant quantity.
