Abstract
We investigate the localization of 4D topological global defects on the brane embedded in 5D. The defects are induced by 5D scalar fields with a symmetry-breaking potential. Taking an Ansatz which separates the scalar field into the 4D and the extra-D part, we find that the static-hedgehog configuration is accomplished and the defects are formed only in the [Formula Presented] background. In the extra dimension, the localization amplitude for the 4D defects is high where the warp factor is high.
