On Schwarzschild's Topology in Brane-Worlds
The topological structure of Schwarzschild's space-time and its maximal
analytic extension are investigated in context of brane-worlds. Using the
embedding coordinates, these geometries are seen as different states of the
evolution of a single brane-world. Comparing the topologies and the embeddings
it is shown that this evolution must be followed by a signature change in the
bulk.Comment: 6 page
