Wave function of the radion with a bulk scalar field

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The behaviour of the distance between two branes (the `radion') in a braneworld model with a bulk scalar field is investigated. We show that the BPS conditions of supergravity ensure that the dynamics of the scalar field and the radion are not independent; we derive the four-dimensional effective action, showing that the effective theory is of scalar--tensor nature, coupling the radion to four-dimensional gravity.
