In this paper we consider a geometrical Yukawa coupling as a solution to the problem of gauge field localization. We show that upon dimensional reduction the vector field component of the field is localized but the scalar component ($A_5$)…
We examine the problem of gauge-field localization in higher-dimensional gauge theories. In particular, we study a five-dimensional U(1) by lattice techniques and we find that gauge fields can indeed be localized. Two models are considered.…
In this work we present a simple thick braneworld model that is generated by an intriguing interplay between a 5D cosmological constant with a de Sitter metric induced in the 3-brane without the inclusion of scalar fields. We show that 4D…
In this work, we study the general properties of the $D$-vector field localization on $(D-d-1)$-brane with co-dimension $d$. We consider a conformally flat metric with the warp factor depending only on the transverse extra dimensions. We…
We summarise the present status of supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum brane-world scenarios and report on their possible realisation within five-dimensional matter coupled N=2 gauged supergravity.
We consider a braneworld model in the scalar-tensor gravity. In order to solve the gauge hierarchy problem in this model, our world should be confined on the positive tension brane rather than on the negative one. This is crucial to…
We emphasize the necessity of a delicate interplay between the gauge and gravitational sectors of five-dimensional brane worlds in creating phenomenologically relevant vacua. We discuss locally supersymmetric brane worlds with unflipped and…
Recently a realization of the four-dimensional gravity on a brane in five-dimensional spacetime has been discussed. Randall and Sundrum have shown that the equation for the longitudinal components of the metric fluctuations admit a…
Gravity in five-dimensional braneworld backgrounds may exhibit extra scalar degrees of freedom with problematic features, including kinetic ghosts and strong coupling behavior. Analysis of such effects is hampered by the standard heuristic…
Unlike the duality in four-dimensional spacetime, where the $q-$form fields corresponds to the scalar fields or the vector fields, in higher dimensional spacetime, they denote new types of particles. In this paper, we investigate the…
We propose a new higher-dimensional mechanism to localize scalar fields as well as fermionic and gauge fields. The underlying theory is a six-dimensional non-commutative field theory where non-commutativity is allowed along two extra…
We investigate maximally symmetric brane world solutions with a scalar field. Five-dimensional bulk gravity is described by a general lagrangian which yields field equations containing no higher than second order derivatives. This includes…
We study the localization of various bulk fields on an $AdS_4$ brane in $AdS_5$. In this case, for a small brane cosmological constant, all the bulk fields ranging from scalar to graviton are naturally confined to the brane only through the…
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…
In phenomenological models with extra dimensions there is a natural symmetry group associated to a brane universe, -- the group of rotations of normal bundle of the brane. We consider Kaluza-Klein gauge fields corresponding to this group…
In the context of brane-world models, we pursue the question of the existence of 5-dimensional solutions describing regular black holes localised close to the brane. Employing a perturbed Vaidya-type line-element embedded in a warped fifth…
We study N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with $d=6$ bulk and $d=4$ brane fields charged under a U(1) gauge symmetry. Radiatively induced Fayet-Iliopoulos terms lead to an instability of the bulk fields. We compute the profile of the bulk…
Recently, Pani, Sotiriou, and Vernieri explored a new theory of gravity by adding nondynamical fields, i.e., gravity with auxiliary fields [Phys. Rev. D 88, 121502(R) (2013)]. In this gravity theory, higher-order derivatives of matter…
The localization of gravity for (5 + 1)-dimensional intersecting thick braneworld models is thoroughly investigated. Departing from preliminary results for five independent proposals, from I to V, gravity is shown to be localized in the…
