We present exact dynamical solutions which describe the vacuum dilatonic brane world. We find that the n solution has initial singularity and singularity at spatial infinity. a J 4 I. INTRODUCTION 2 3 v In modern theories of unified physical interactions, spacetime has more than four dimensions. It is well-known 3 6 1 that Kaluza-Klein theory [1,2] tells us that the spacetime which has more than four dimensions. Superstring theories 0 1 (e.g. Ref. [3] ) are at the moment the most promising candidates for a unified description of the basic physical 0 0 / interactions. There are five anomaly-free, perturbative superstring theories. The critical dimensions of spacetime are h t p- ten for these theories. There is now evidence that the five superstring theories are related with each other by dualities. e h It is conjectured that these theories can be regarded as the limits of an unique theory, so called M-theory, in which : v i spacetime has eleven dimensions. M-theory seems to be related to N = 1, D = 11 supergravity theory at low energy. X r a Conventionally, it is thought that the extra dimension is quite small, say the P
