We compute the one-loop correction to the radion potential in the Randall-Sundrum model with detuned brane tensions, with supersymmetry broken by boundary conditions. We concentrate on the small-warping limit, where the one-loop correction…

We consider the quantum effects of bulk matter (scalars, spinors) in the Randall-Sundrum AdS$_5$ brane-world at nonzero temperature. The thermodynamic energy (modulus potential) is evaluated at low and high temperatures. This potential has…
We examine the cosmology and hierarchy of scales in models with branes immersed in a five-dimensional curved spacetime subject to radion stabilization. When the radion field is time-independent and the inter-brane spacing is stabilized, the…
We show that an earlier domain wall solution of type IIB supergravity provides a supersymmetric realization of the Randall-Sundrum brane-world, and give its ten-dimensional interpretation in terms of IIB 3-branes. We also explain how…
We examine the lowest order quantum corrections to the effective action arising from a quantized real scalar field in the Randall-Sundrum background spacetime. The leading term is the familiar vacuum, or Casimir, energy density. The next…
We study the confinement/deconfinement phase transition of the radion field in a warped model with a polynomial bulk potential. The backreaction of the radion on the metric is taken into account by using the superpotential formalism, while…
The Randall-Sundrum model of warped geometry in a five-dimensional scenario, aimed at explaining the hierarchy between the Planck and electroweak scales, is intrinsically unstable in its minimal form due to negative tension of the visible…
Large extra dimensional theories attempt to solve the hierarchy problem by assuming that the fundamental scale of the theory is at the electroweak scale. This requires the size of the extra dimensions to be stabilized at a scale which is…
We address again the old problem of calculating the radion effective potential in Randall-Sundrum scenarios, with the Goldberger-Wise stabilization mechanism. Various prescriptions have been used in the literature, most of them based on…
We discuss the dynamics of a spherically symmetric dark radiation vaccum in the Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario. Under certain natural assumptions we show that the Einstein equations on the brane form a closed system. For a de Sitter…
We consider a five dimensional warped spacetime where the bulk geometry is governed by higher curvature $F(R)$ gravity. In this model, we determine the modulus potential originating from the scalar degree of freedom of higher curvature…
