Braneworld Stars: Anisotropy Minimally Projected Onto the Brane

In the context of the Randall-Sundrum braneworld, an exhaustive and detailed description of the approach based in the minimal anisotropic consequence onto the brane, which has been successfully used to generate exact interior solutions to Einstein's field equations for static and non-uniform braneworld stars with local and non-local bulk terms, is carefully presented. It is shown that this approach allows the generation of a braneworld version for any known general relativistic solution.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure. Schwarzschild's solution removed.

Brane-world stars and (microscopic) black holes

We study stars in the brane-world by employing the principle of minimal geometric deformation and find that brane-world black hole metrics with a tidal charge are consistently recovered in a suitable limit. This procedure allows us to determine the tidal charge as a function of the black hole ADM mass (and brane tension). A minimum mass for semiclassical microscopic black holes can then be derived, with a relevant impact for the description of black hole events at the LHC.Comment: LaTeX, 11 pages, 2 figures.

The Minimal Geometric Deformation Approach: a brief introduction

We review the basic elements of the Minimal Geometric Deformation approach in details. This method has been successfully used to generate brane-world configurations from general relativistic perfect fluid solutions.Comment: Brief review; minor corrections; references adde
