The induced 4d gravity on a brane world is analyzed. The case of a thick brane is considered and the unexpected appearance of a new threshold scale, much larger than the thickness scale is found. In cases of phenomenological interest, this…
In this paper, the solutions of the pure geometric thick $f(R)$ brane are investigated. The formulation of $f(R)$ is chosen as $f(R)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_{i}R^{i}+\Lambda$. For the certain value of $n$, the brane solution can be calculated, and…
We propose a codimension two warped braneworld model within the teleparallel $f(T)$ gravity. By assuming a global vortex as the source, we found a $l=0$ vortex solution that yields to a thick string-like brane. Asymptotically, the bulk…
We consider a generalisation of the DGP model, by adding a second brane with localised curvature, and allowing for a bulk cosmological constant and brane tensions. We study radion and graviton fluctuations in detail, enabling us to check…
We examine the spectrum of small vibrations of giant gravitons, when the gravitons expand in the anti-de-Sitter space and when they expand on the sphere. For any given angular harmonic, the modes are found to have frequencies related to the…
A thick brane in six dimensions is constructed using two scalar fields. The field equations for 6D gravity plus the scalar fields are solved numerically. This thick brane solution shares some features with a previously studied analytic…
We investigate a two scalar fields split braneworld model which leads to a possible approach to the hierarchy problem within the thick brane scenario. The model exhibits a resulting asymmetric warp factor suitable for this purpose. The…
In this work, we present new soliton solutions for thick branes in $4+1$ dimensions. In particular, we consider brane models based on the sine-Gordon ($SG$), $\varphi^{4}$ and $\varphi^{6}$ scalar fields, which have broken $Z_{2}$ symmetry…
We investigate the effect of the bulk gravitational field on the cosmological perturbations on a brane embedded in the 5D Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. The effective 4D Einstein equations for the scalar cosmological perturbations on the…
In brane world scenarios with a bulk scalar field between two branes it is known that 4-dimensional Einstein gravity is restored at low energies on either brane. By using a gauge-invariant gravitational and scalar perturbation formalism we…
In arXiv:0901.3543, the simplest Yukawa coupling $\eta\bar{\Psi}\phi\chi\Psi$ was considered for a two-scalar-generated Bloch brane model. Fermionic resonances for both chiralities were obtained, and their appearance is related to branes…
New soliton solutions for thick branes in 4 + 1 dimensions are considered in this article. In particular, brane models based on the sine-Gordon (SG), $\varphi^{4}$ and $\varphi^{6}$ scalar fields are investigated; in some cases $Z_{2}$…
This work deals with the presence of thick branes in a model with two source scalar fields that interact with one another in a very specific way. The model is new, capable of generating kinklike configurations that engender important…
In this paper we apply the five-dimensional $f(T)$ gravity with $f(T)=T+k T^n$ to brane scenario to explore the solutions under a given warp factor, and we find that the analytic domain wall solution will be a double-kink solution when the…
Motivated by stringy considerations, Randall & Sundrum have proposed a model where all the fields and particles of physics, save gravity, are confined on a 4-dimensional brane embedded in 5-dimensional anti-deSitter space. Their scenario…
In this work, we investigate braneworld models in mimetic gravity, with the source field having generalized dynamics. We present the mathematical description necessary to study the generalized model and consider the first-order formalism to…
In this thesis, we discuss the idea of multigravity, namely the possibility that a significant component of gravity that we feel at intermediate distances (1 mm < r < 10^26 cm) is due to massive but ultralight gravitons. We demonstrate how…
We propose new braneworld models arising from a scalar field in the bulk. In these examples, the induced on--brane line element is de Sitter (or anti de Sitter) and the bulk (five dimensional) Einstein equations can be exactly solved to…
Within our thick brane approach previously used to obtain the cosmological evolution equations on a thick brane embedded in a five-dimensional Schwarzschild Anti-de Sitter spacetime it is explicitly shown that the consistency of these…
We apply the mimetic $f(T)$ theory into the thick brane model. We take the Lagrange multiplier formulation of the action and get the corresponding field equations of motion. We find solutions for different kinds of $f(T)$. Besides, we…
