The combined model containing both an ETW brane and an interface brane I. The two solutions are glued along the interface brane. Since the Euclidean horizon is not included in the lefthand solution, both branes are multiply wound relative to a single copy of Euclidean/Schwarzschild AdS avoiding self-intersections.

... [5], it was proposed that this obstruction could be overcome by considering a more complicated bulk solution with interface branes in addition to the ETW brane. From the bulk selfintersection perspective, the advantage of adding interface branes is that one can allow the time at which the ETW brane reaches the boundary to become negative without necessarily encountering a self-intersection, as pictured in figure 3 and explained in more detail below. The aim of the present paper is to explore this construction with interface branes in more detail. ...

... results of [19,20], [5] showed that for extreme values of the interface brane tension, ρz 4 0 could indeed be made large. From the spacetime perspective we will focus on, the idea is that for some choices of the interface tension and bulk parameters, the spacetime on one side of the interface brane doesn't contain a horizon, so both the ETW brane and interface brane can be multiply wound relative to a single copy of the Euclidean Schwarzschild-AdS 5 geometry on that side without encountering selfintersections, as pictured in figure 3. We find that this setup doesn't solve the problem however, as the two branes run into each other. ...
