We write an explicit local action for a large extra dimension stabilization scenario due to Arkani-Hamed, Hall, Smith, and Weiner (AHSW). Our action allows the AHSW proposal to be generalized to non-Poincaré invariant configurations, supersymmetric extensions, quantum effective field theory, and cosmological scenarios. The central step in constructing the action is working in terms of the four form gauge field which is the “electric-magnetic” dual to the “magnetic” scalar of AHSW. The action is manifestly invariant under higher general coordinate invariance.
