We present the four-dimensional equations on a brane with a scalar field non-minimally coupled to the induced Ricci curvature, embedded in a five-dimensional bulk with a cosmological constant. This is a natural extension to a brane-world…
Motivated by the recent work on the fermion resonances on scalar-constructed thick branes (arXiv:0901.3543 and arXiv:0904.1785), we extend the idea to multi-scalar generated thick branes and complete previous work. The fermion localization…

Spin 1/2 fields localization on an asymmetric dS${}_4$ scenario, where the brane interpolates between two spacetimes dS${}_5$ and AdS${}_5$, is determined. The bulk spinor is coupled to scalar field of the brane by a nonminimal Yukawa term…
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 study the behaviour of five-dimensional fermions localized on branes, which we describe by domain walls, when two parallel branes collide in a five-dimensional Minkowski background spacetime. We find that most fermions are localized on…
