Stars on branes: the view from the brane
Abstract
We consider spherically symmetric matter configurations on a four dimensional "brane" embedded in a five dimensional Z2-symmetric "bulk". We write the junction conditions between the interior and exterior of these "stars", treat a couple of static examples in order to point out the differences with ordinary four dimensional Einstein gravity, consider briefly a collapse situation and conclude with the importance of a global view including asymptotic and regularity conditions in the bulk.
