Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 586–589 (2000)Infinitely Large New DimensionsReceived 29 July 1999; published in the issue dated 24 January 2000 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 n of infinite extra dimensions. Since the 4D Planck scale MPl is determined by the fundamental Planck scale M* and the AdS radius L via the familiar relation MPl2∼M*2+nLn, we get two kinds of theories with TeV scale quantum gravity and submillimeter deviations from Newton's law. With M*∼TeV and L∼submillimeter, we recover the phenomenology of theories with large extra dimensions. Alternatively, if M*∼L-1∼MPl, and our 3-brane is at a distance of ∼100MPl-1 from the intersection, we obtain a theory with an exponential determination of the weak/Planck hierarchy. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
