We provide the exact time-dependent cosmological solutions in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) setup with bulk matter, which may be smoothly connected to the static RS metric. In the static limit of the extra dimension, the solutions are reduced to…
We present a Higgsless Standard Model in six dimensions, based on the Standard Model gauge group SU(2)xU(1), with two flat extra dimensions compactified on a rectangle. The electroweak symmetry is broken by boundary conditions and realistic…
We perform a comprehensive analysis of a number of scalar field theories in a attempt to find analytically 5-dimensional, localised-on-the-brane, black-hole solutions. Extending a previous analysis, we assume a generalised Vaidya ansatz for…
We present five dimensional gauged supergravity with universal hypermultiplet on M_4 \times S^1 / Z_2 coupled supersymmetrically to three-branes located at the fixed points. The construction is extended to the smooth picture with auxiliary…
A new viewpoint for the gauge hierarchy problem is proposed: compactification at a large scale, 1/R, leads to a low energy effective theory with supersymmetry softly broken at a much lower scale, \alpha/R. The hierarchy is induced by an…
It has been shown in the last few years that 3-form fields present viable cosmological solutions for inflation and dark energy with particular observable signatures distinct from those of canonical single scalar field inflation. The aim of…
We give a pedagogical introduction to the physics of large extra dimensions. We focus our discussion on minimal extensions of the Standard Model in which gauge fields may propagate in a single, compact extra dimension while the fermions are…
In the framework of warped extra dimension models addressing the gauge hierarchy problem, we consider the Randall-Sundrum (RS) scenario under the usual hypothesis of a bulk custodial symmetry. It is shown in detail that there can exist…
The quantisation of a scalar field in the five-dimensional model suggested by Randall and Sundrum is considered. Using the Kaluza-Klein reduction of the scalar field, discussed by Goldberger and Wise, we sum the infinite tower of modes to…
Field theory in the presence of extra dimensions has offered interesting solutions to the gauge hierarchy problem, and inspired many attempts to understand the fermion mass generation mechanism. We study the behaviour of a bulk fermion…
We study minimal 5-dimensional extensions of the Standard Model, in which all or only some of the SU(2)$_L$ and U(1)$_Y$ gauge fields and Higgs bosons propagate in the fifth compact dimension. In all the 5-dimensional settings, the fermions…
We review various key issues in connection with the warped braneworld models which provide us with new insights and explanations of physical phenomena through interesting geometrical features of such extra dimensional theories. Starting…
We calculate the $B\Bbar$ mixing in the Randall-Sundrum bulk model. In this model, all the Standard Model fields except the Higgs can reside in the bulk. Two suggestive models of "mixed" and "relaxed" scenarios are considered. We find that…
The presence of a bulk viscosity for the cosmic fluid on a single Randall-Sundrum brane is considered. The spatial curvature is assumed to be zero. The five-dimensional Friedmann equation is derived, together with the energy conservation…
It has recently been proposed that the hierarchy problem can be solved by considering the warped fifth dimension compactified on $S^{1}/Z_{2}$. Many studies in the context have assumed a particular choice for an integration constant…
The Bulk Randall-Sundrum model, where all Standard Model particles except the Higgs are free to propagate in the bulk, predicts the existence of Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes of the gluon with a large branching into top-antitop pairs. We study…
We study a SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y gauge theory in the Randall-Sundrum background, including electroweak symmetry breaking due to a brane-localized Higgs sector. We work in the decomposed four dimensional theory and treat the symmetry breaking…
We discuss brane world sum rules for compactifications involving an arbitrary number of spacetime dimensions. One of the most striking results derived from such consistency conditions is the necessity for negative tension branes to appear…
We propose a 4+1-dimensional action that is a candidate for realising a standard-model-like effective theory for fields dynamically localised to a domain-wall brane. Our construction is based in part on the conjecture that the Dvali-Shifman…
The Randall Sundrum (RS) models receive significant constraints from the neutral Kaon system. The CP violating observable $\epsilon_K$, in Randall Sundrum scenario, requires the lightest KK gluon to be heavier than $\sim$ 24 TeV. The…
