In this work, we reconsider the study of 5D black branes in M-theory compactifications by means of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supergravity formalism. Precisely, we provide a model relaying on a three parameter Calabi-Yau manifold in the…
We consider a compactification with a six-dimensional torus in the type II brane gas models. We show that the dilaton and the scale of each cycle of the internal space are fixed in the presence of NS5-brane and Kaluza-Klein monopoles as…
We show that N=8 spontaneously broken supergravity in four dimensions obtained by Scherk-Schwarz generalized dimensional reduction can be obtained from a pure four dimensional perspective by gauging a suitable electric subgroup of E_{7,7}.…
We consider several solutions of supergravity with reduced supersymmetry which are related to wrapped branes, and elaborate on their geometrical and physical interpretation. The Killing spinors are computed for each configuration. In…
We present a new (1+3)-brane solution to Einstein equations in (1+5)-space. As distinct from previous models this solution is free of singularities in the full 6-dimensional space-time. The gravitational potential transverse to the brane is…
The generalised calibration for a wrapped membrane is gauge equivalent to the supergravity three-form under which the membrane is electrically charged. Given the relevant calibration, one can go a long way towards constructing the…
We employ an $SU(2)$ bulk Higgs doublet as the stabilization field in Randall-Sundrum model with appropriate bulk and brane-localized potentials. The gauge hierarchy problem can be solved for an exponentially IR-localized Higgs background…
We discuss the problem of localization of 4D massless states in Randall-Sundrum 2 (one-brane) models. A Randall-Sundrum 2 construction starting from N=8 gauged supergravity in 5D Anti de Sitter space gives rise to an N=4 supergravity-matter…
Compactifications of the physical superstring to two dimensions provide a general template for realizing 2D conformal field theories coupled to worldsheet gravity, i.e. non-critical string theories. Motivated by this observation, in this…
The nonlinear gravitational interaction is investigated in the Randall-Sundrum two branes model with the radius stabilization mechanism. As the stabilization model, we assume a single scalar field that has a potential in the bulk and a…
An exact conformal field theory describing a four dimensional 2-brane solution is found by considering a chiral gauged Wess-Zumino -Witten theory corresponding to $SL(2, R)\times R$ , where one gauges the one dimensional $U(1)$ subgroup…
We study the four dimensional effective action of a system of D6-branes wrapped on the K3 manifold times a torus, allowing the volume of the internal manifolds to remain dynamical. An unwrapped brane is at best a Dirac monopole of the dual…
The cascading gravity model was proposed to eliminate instabilities of the original DGP model by embedding our 4D universe into a 5D brane, which is itself embedded in a 6D bulk. Thus gravity cascades from 6D down to 4D as we decrease the…
We consider a five dimensional AdS spacetime with two 3-brane scenario where the hidden brane contains a certain amount of positive constant energy density. In this model, we examine the possibility of modulus stabilization. Our result…
We obtain new results for consistent braneworld Kaluza-Klein reductions, showing how we can derive four-dimensional N=2 gauged supergravity ``localised on the AdS_4 brane'' as an exact embedding in five-dimensional N=4 gauged supergravity.…
We consider the gravitino spectrum for the general warped solution in a specific six-dimensional gauged supergravity. We find that although the brane tensions introduced at the conical singularities break the bulk supersymmetry explicitly,…
We explain how D-branes on group manifolds are stabilized against shrinking by quantized worldvolume U(1) fluxes. Starting from the Born-Infeld action in the case of the SU(2) group manifold we derive the masses, multiplicities and spectrum…
In this talk we consider the issue of stabilization of compact hyperbolic brane-world scenarios from the point of view of 4-dimensional effective theories. The idea is to clarify the status of stabilization for these models. Possible ways…
We investigate in detail recent suggestions that codimension-two braneworlds in six dimensional supergravity might circumvent Weinberg's no-go theorem for self-tuning of the cosmological constant. The branes are given finite thickness in…
In a previous publication we have shown that the gauge theory of relativistic 3-Branes can be formulated in a conformally invariant way if the embedding space is six-dimensional. The implementation of conformal invariance requires the use…
