We construct several examples of (2+1) dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories, whose moduli space is given by non-compact toric Calabi-Yau four-folds, which are not derivable from any (3+1) dimensional CFT. One such example is…
We consider evolution of compact extra dimensions in cosmology and try to see whether wrapped branes can prevent the expansion of the internal space. Some difficulties of Brandenberger and Vafa mechanism for decompactification are pointed…
We study a supersymmetric SO(10) gauge theory in six dimensions compactified on an orbifold. Three sequential quark-lepton families are localized at the three fixpoints where SO(10) is broken to its three GUT subgroups. Split bulk…
The recent observation by CDF collaboration has disclosed a modification in the mass of the $W$ boson. In this regard we show that this modification in the mass of the $W$ boson can be well explained in the background of a 6-dimensional…
Thick branes obtained from a bulk action containing Gauss-Bonnet self-interactions are analyzed in light of the localization properties of the various modes of the geometry. The entangled system describing the localization of the tensor,…
We present a general model with universal extra dimensions in the presence of the bulk fermion masses and boundary localized kinetic terms, which are generically allowed by symmetries of five dimensional gauge theory. We provide a…
Gravitons could permeate extra space dimensions inaccessible to all other particles, which would be confined to ``branes''. We point out that these branes could be ``fat'' and have a non-vanishing width in the dimensions reserved for…
Solitonic brane cosmologies are found where the world-volume is curved due to the evolution of the dilaton field on the brane. In many cases, these may be related to the solitonic Dp- and M5-branes of string and M-theory. An…
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 suggest a braneless scenario that still hides large-volume extra dimensions. Ordinarily the strength of bulk gauge interactions would be diluted over the large internal volume, making all the four dimensional forces weak. We use the fact…
The topology of extra dimensions can break global Lorentz invariance,singling out a globally preferred frame even in flat spacetime. Through experiments that probe global topology, an observer can determine her state of motion with respect…
We construct solutions in purely gravitational bulk with flat vacuum branes without fine tuning the constants of the theory. Our solutions incorporate one or two branes and have topology S^1 x R^4 without Z_2 symmetry. They are not…
We analyse proton decay in the context of simple supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified models with an extra compact spatial dimension described by the orbifold S^1/(Z_2 x Z_2'). Gauge and Higgs degrees of freedom live in the bulk, while matter…
An asymmetric thick domain wall solution with de Sitter ($dS$) expansion in five dimensions can be constructed from a symmetric one by using a same scalar (kink) with different potentials. In this paper, by presenting the mass-independent…
An earlier scheme [arXiv:2404.03360], where torsion plays an essential part in a flat spacetime account of fermion spin, is extended to spacetimes with non-zero Riemann curvature. It is found that further essential features of the fermion,…
We study cosmological aspects of braneworld models with a warped dimension and an arbitrary number of compact dimensions. With a stabilized radion, a number of different cosmological bulk solutions are found in a general case. Both one and…
We study the dimensional reduction of fermions, both in the symmetric and in the broken phase of the 3-d Gross-Neveu model at large N. In particular, in the broken phase we construct an exact solution for a stable brane world consisting of…
We propose a mechanism ensuring (quasi)localization of massless gauge fields on a brane. The mechanism does not rely on BPS properties of the brane and can be realized in any theory where charged particles are confined to the world-volume.…
Recent experimental observations are shown to be quantitatively consistent with an extended concept of space-time having a discrete extra dimension of two points at the distance of 11.8 fm together with a nontrivial metric structure. In…
Small Dirac masses for neutrinos are natural in models with singlet fermions in large extra dimensions with quantum gravity scale M_{\ast} \sim 1- 100 TeV. We study two modifications of the minimal model in order to obtain the mass scale…
