No-go theorem for gravivector and graviscalar on the brane

Abstract

We prove the no-go theorem that the gravivector (h5μ)(h_{5\mu}) and graviscalar (h55)(h_{55}) cannot have any on-shell propagation on the Randall-Sundrum (RS) brane. For this purpose, we analyze all of their linearized equations with the de Donder gauge (5D transverse-tracefree gauge). But we do not introduce any matter source. We use the Z2_2-symmetry argument and their (h5μ,h55h_{5\mu}, h_{55}) compatibility conditions with the tensor h\mnh_{\mn}-equation. It turns out that h55h_{55} does not have any bulk (massive) and brane (massless) propagations. Although h5μh_{5\mu} has a sort of massive propagations, they do not belong to the physical solution. Hence we confirm that the Randall-Sundrum gauge suffices the on-shell brane physics.
