Abstract
We discuss some issues arising in studying (linearized) gravity on non-BPS higher co-dimension branes in an infinite-volume bulk. In particular, such backgrounds are badly singular for codimension-3 and higher δ-function-like branes with nonzero tension. As we discuss in this note, nontrivial issues arise in smoothing out such singularities. Thus, adding higher curvature terms might be necessary in this context.
