Abstract

We show that, in the absence of matter in the bulk, the Einstein equations and the Gauss-normal form of the metric place stringent restrictions on the form of the event horizon in a brane world. As a consequence, the off-brane extension of the standard 4-D Schwarzschild horizon in the Randall-Sundrum AdS5 spacetime, as it is viewed from the brane can only be of a tubular shape, instead of a pancake shape. When it is viewed from the AdS5 horizon, such a tubular horizon is absent.
