We consider an dS_4 brane embedded in a five-dimensional bulk with a positive, vanishing or negative bulk cosmological constant and derive the localized graviton spectrum that consists of a normalizable zero-mode separated by a gap from a…
We study brane worlds in an anisotropic higher-dimensional spacetime within the context of $f(R)$ gravity. Firstly, we demonstrate that this spacetime with a concrete metric ansatz is stable against linear tensor perturbations under certain…
Recently, it was found that the vector field can be naturally localized on the thick brane in chameleon gravity. In this work, we extend this study to encompass de Sitter brane scenario. We focus on the localization of q-form fields. The…
We study the cosmological dynamics and predictions in the theory of warped massive gravity. This set-up postulates a five-dimensional ghost-free massive graviton with a brane-localized four-dimensional massive gravity potential, and has the…
In the context of $f(T,B)$ modified teleparallel gravity, we investigate the influence of torsion scalar $T$ and boundary term $B$ on the confinement of both the gauge vector and Kalb-Ramond fields. Both fields require a suitable coupling…
We present a simple model in which a brane with anisotropic metric is embedded in an AdS bulk. We discuss the localization of the massless mode and the amplification of both the massless and the massive modes on the branes, paying…

Certain difficulties of quantum gravity can be avoided if we embed the spacetime $V_4$ into a higher dimensional space $V_N$; then our spacetime is merely a 4-surface in $V_N$.What remains is conceptually not so difficult: just to quantise…
We study the dynamics of brane worlds coupled to a scalar field and gravity, and find that self-tuning of the cosmological constant is generic in theories with at most two branes or a single brane with orbifold boundary conditions. We…
We study the growth of subhorizon perturbations in brane-induced gravity using perturbation theory. We solve for the linear evolution of perturbations taking advantage of the symmetry under gauge transformations along the extra-dimension to…
The effective four-dimensional, linearised gravity of a brane world model with one extra dimension and a single brane is analysed. The model includes higher order curvature terms (such as the Gauss-Bonnet term) and a conformally coupled…
It is known that the metric and Palatini formalisms of gravity theories have their own interesting features but also suffer from some different drawbacks. Recently, a novel gravity theory called hybrid metric-Palatini gravity was put…
We show how the spin 3/2 gravitino field can be localized on a brane in a general framework of supergravity theory. Provided that a scalar field coupled to the Rarita-Schwinger field develops an vacuum expectation value (VEV) whose phase…
In this paper we propose methods for inference of the geometric features of a multivariate density. Our approach uses multiscale tests for the monotonicity of the density at arbitrary points in arbitrary directions. In particular, a…
We consider a warped brane world scenario with two branes, Gauss-Bonnet gravity in the bulk, and brane localised curvature terms. When matter is present on both branes, we investigate the linear equations of motion and distinguish three…
The spectrum of a massless bulk scalar field \Phi, with a possible interaction term of the form -\xi R \Phi^{2}, is investigated in the case of RS-geometry [1]. We show that the zero mode for \xi=0, turns into a tachyon mode, in the case of…
We obtain the full 5D graviton propagator in the Randall-Sundrum model with the Gauss-Bonnet interaction. From the decomposition of the graviton propagator on the brane, we show that localization of gravity arises in the presence of the…
We investigate scalar and tensor fields in the brane model solution for the 5D space-time with standing gravitational waves in the bulk and show that even in the case of increasing warp factor there exist normalizable zero modes localized…
We discuss possible variations of the effective gravitational constant with length scale, predicted by most of alternative theories of gravity and unified models of physical interactions. After a brief general exposition, we review in more…
