The Worldvolume Action of Kink Solitons in AdS Spacetime    [PDF]

Justin Khoury, Burt A. Ovrut, James Stokes
A formalism is presented for computing the higher-order corrections to the worldvolume action of co-dimension one solitons. By modifying its potential, an explicit "kink" solution of a real scalar field in AdS space-time is found. The formalism is then applied to explicitly compute the kink worldvolume action to quadratic order in its extrinsic and intrinsic curvatures. Two alternative methods are given for doing this. In addition to conformal Galileon interactions, we find a non-Galileon term which is never sub-dominant. This method can be extended to any conformally flat bulk space-time.
