The index theorem implies that there are fermionic states localized on a soliton. Presence of these modes may significantly alter the pattern of interaction between the solitons. As a particular example we investigate the chiral magnetic…
Domain wall fermions provide a complimentary alternative to traditional lattice fermion approaches. By introducing an extra dimension, the amount of chiral symmetry present in the lattice theory can be controlled in a linear way. This…
We consider the existence of bulk chiral fermions around points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone of nonmagnetic 3D crystals with negligible spin-orbit interactions. We use group theory to show that this is possible, but only for a reduced…
Warped braneworld scenario provides an alternative to the usual Kaluza-Klein compactification of extra dimensions through the so-called localization of fields. Randall-Sundrum type models do not directly prove, rather, assume that all…
In this letter we have proposed a natural way of determine the Yukawa coupling $F(z)\bar\Psi \Psi$ for the 5D bulk action, the form of the $F(z)$ function allows us to localize the spin--$\frac{1}{2}$ fermionic fields in the paradigm of the…
In this paper, we consider the localization of a five-dimensional gravitino field on $f(R)$-thick branes. We obtain the coupled chiral equations of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes of gravitinos with the gauge condition $\Psi_z=0$. The chiral…
Recently, it was found that the vector field can be naturally localized on the thick brane in chameleon gravity. In this work, we extend this study to encompass de Sitter brane scenario. We focus on the localization of q-form fields. The…
We consider the effects of spacetime curvature and brane thickness on the localization of gauge fields on a brane via kinetic terms induced by localized fermions. We find that in a warped geometry with and infinitely thin brane, both the…
In a recent work, a model has been proposed where a brane is made of a scalar field with bounce-type configurations and embedded in a bulk with a string-like metric. This model produces an AdS scenario where the components of the energy…

We consider the reduced, quenched version of a generalized Yang-Mills action in 4k-dimensional spacetime. This is a new kind of matrix theory which is mapped through the Weyl-Wigner-Moyal correspondence into a field theory over a…
Within the 5D standing wave braneworld model numerical solutions of the equations for matter fields with various spins are found. It is shown that corresponding action integrals are factorizable and convergent over the extra coordinate,…
By using the self-dual vortex background on extra two-dimensional Riemann surfaces in 5+1 dimensions, the localization mechanism of bulk fermions on a string-like defect with the exponentially decreasing warp-factor is obtained. We give the…
In this paper we discuss the BRST-quantization of anomalous 2d-Yang Mills (YM) theory. Since we use an oscillator basis for the YM-Fock-space the anomaly appears already for a pure YM-system and the constraints form a Kac-Moody algebra with…
Using the WKBJ approximation, and the Unruh method, we obtain semi-analytic expressions for the absorption probability (in all energy regimes) for Dirac fermions on a higher dimensional Schwarzschild background. We present an analytic…
We study localization properties of various bulk fields on a dilatonic p-brane which is delocalized along its transverse directions except one. We find that all the bosonic and fermionic bulk fields can be localized on the delocalized…
It is known that the Bloch brane is generated by an odd scalar field $\phi$ and an even one $\chi$. In order to localize a bulk fermion on the Bloch brane, the coupling between the fermion and scalars should be introduced. { There are two…
In this paper, we investigate localization of a bulk massless q-form field on codimension-one brane by using a new Kaluza-Klein (KK) decomposition, for which there are two types of KK modes for the bulk q-form field, the q-form and…
We investigated the localization of the spinorial field in a braneworld built as a warped product between a 3-brane and a 2-cycle of the resolved conifold. This scenario provides a geometric flow that controls the singularity at the origin…
In the present paper the fermion fields, living in the background of five-dimensional warped brane world models with compact extra dimension, are thoroughly examined. The Kaluza-Klein decomposition and isolation of the physical degrees of…
