Description
Warped throats have been a major tool in trying to connect string theories with our 4d Universe, in particular for their ability to suppress high energy scales.
An explicit description of such a throat (the deformed conifold) can be used to perform explicit computations to determine how the throat affects gravity in 4d.
In this talk I will briefly show how a tower of massive graviton modes arises in the 4d theory and describe some effects of warping on gravity were we to live on a 3 dimensional brane at the tip of the throat, focusing on corrections to the Newtonian gravitational potential.
