Recently, a family of interesting analytical brane solutions were found in $f(R)$ gravity with $f(R)=R+\alpha R^2$ in Ref. [Phys. Lett. B 729, 127 (2014)]. In these solutions, inner brane structure can be turned on by tuning the value of…
In this work, the influence of the boundary term $B$ is analyzed in a string-like thick brane scenario in the gravity context $f(T, B)$. For that, three models of $f(T, B)$ are proposed, i.e., $f_1(T, B)=T+k{B}^{n}$, $f_2(T,…
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…
