Annotation

An expression for the angle of light deflection in the gravitational field of a global monopole embedded in the Randall-Sundrum universe has been obtained. It has been demonstrated that the deflection angle depends on the characteristic parameter $k$ of the model, and thus, limitations for this parameter may in principle be obtained from astronomical observations.
