Abstract
We construct intersecting brane configurations in anit–de Sitter (AdS) space which localize gravity to the intersection region, generalizing the trapping of gravity to any number of infinite extra dimensions. Since the 4D Planck scale is determined by the fundamental Planck scale and the AdS radius via the familiar relation , we get two kinds of theories with TeV scale quantum gravity and submillimeter deviations from Newton's law. With and , we recover the phenomenology of theories with large extra dimensions. Alternatively, if , and our 3-brane is at a distance of from the intersection, we obtain a theory with an exponential determination of the weak/Planck hierarchy.
