Abstract

This is an introductory review of gravity on branes with an emphasis on codimension 1 models. However, for a new result it is also pointed out that the cosmological evolution of the 3-brane in the model of Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati may follow the standard Friedmann equation. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Conventions 3. The Lanczos-Israel matching conditions 4. The action principle with codimension 1 hypersurfaces: Need for the Gibbons-Hawking term 5. The Newtonian limit on thin branes 6. A remark on black holes in the model of Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati 7. The cosmology of codimension 1 brane worlds
