Abstract

In a six dimensional brane world model with multiple S1/Z2S_1/Z_2 warping, two of the 4-branes at the boundaries have coordinate dependent brane tensions in order to implement the orbifolded boundary conditions consistently. Such brane tension is shown to be equivalent to a scalar field distribution on the brane [1]. We show that in such a scenario a masslesss left chiral fermion on the 4-brane localizes naturally on the standard model 3-brane located at one edge of the compact manifold while the massless right chiral fermion wave function as well as the wave functions for the massive fermion modes peak away from this brane. This offers a mechanism of obtaining massless chiral fermion with only one of its chiral component present in our brane.
