Abstract: "Conventional wisdom
states that Newton's force law implies only four noncompact dimensions. We
demonstrate that this is not necessarily true in the presence of a
nonfactorizable background geometry. The specific example we study is a single
3-brane embedded in five dimensions. We show that even without a gap in the
Kaluza-Klein spectrum, four-dimensional Newtonian and general relativistic
gravity is reproduced to more than adequate precision."
This 1999 report from Physical Review
Letters was cited 36 times in current journal articles
indexed in the ISI database during July-August 2000. Only two physics papers
(not counting reviews) published in the last two years attracted more
citations during that two-month period. One of those papers, in fact, was
published by this same pair of researchers. In other words, during the
July-August 2000 period, Randall and Sundrum accounted for two of the three
most-cited papers in physics. Prior to the most recent bimonthly count,
citations to the above paper have accrued as follows:
May-June 2000: 9 citations
March-April 2000: 11
January-February 2000: 2
Total citations to date: 58

Research Services Group in a CD-ROM version containing data on
hundreds of highly cited papers published during the last two years.
User interface permits searching by author, organization, journal,
field, and more. Total citations, as well as citations accrued during
successive bimonthly periods, can be assessed and graphed. Database is
combined with subscription to the ISI newsletter Science
