Braneworld Black Holes

Understand

In this thesis we investigate black holes in the Randall-Sundrum braneworld scenario.

• We begin with an overview of extra-dimensional physics, from the original proposal of Kaluza and Klein up to the modern braneworld picture of extra dimensions.
• A detailed description of braneworld gravity is given, with particular emphasis on its compatibility with experimental tests of gravity.
• We then move on to a discussion of static, spherically symmetric braneworld black hole solutions.
