Such non-conventional source terms include a quadratic (ordinary) matter source term, a geometric source term originating in the Weyl curvature of the bulk, a source term arising from the possible asymmetric embedding, and finally the pull-back to the brane of possible non-standard model bulk fields.to appear in the Proceedings of the Eleventh Marcel Grossmann Meeting 2006, World Scientific, Singapore (2007)General Relativity and Quantum CosmologyAstrophysicsHigh Energy Physics - TheoryIs dark matter futile on the brane?text
