Abstract
We discuss a Randall-Sundrum-type two D-braneworld model in which D-branes possess different values of the tensions from those of the charges, and derive an effective gravitational equation on the branes. As a consequence, the Einstein-Maxwell theory is realized together with the nonzero cosmological constant. Here an interesting point is that the effective gravitational constant is proportional to the cosmological constant. If the distance between two D-branes is appropriately tuned, the cosmological constant can have a consistent value with the current observations. From this result we see that, in our model, the presence of the cosmological constant is naturally explained by the presence of the effective gravitational coupling of the Maxwell field on the D-brane.
