By means of a simple model we investigate the possibility that spacetime is a membrane embedded in higher dimensions. We present cosmological solutions of d-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory which compactify to two dimensions. These…
Without any mechanism to protect its mass, the self-energy of the Higgs boson diverges quadratically, leading to the hierarchy or fine-tuning problem. One bottom-up solution is to postulate some yet-to-be-discovered symmetry which forces…
This paper introduces a class of approximate transparent boundary conditions for the solution of Helmholtz-type resonance and scattering problems on unbounded domains. The computational domain is assumed to be a polygon. A detailed…
We consider a model involving a 4-brane in a 6D bulk which carries sigma model fields. An axion field on the 4-brane cancels the pressure along one direction leading to an effective codimension-2 3-brane. For a range of parameters of the…
Composite Higgs models provide an elegant solution to the hierarchy problem present in the Standard Model (SM) and give an alternative pattern leading to the mechanism of Electro-Weak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB). We present an analysis of the…
A well-known soliton (bubble) solution of five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein General Relativity is modified by imposing mass on the scalar field. By forcing the scalar field to be short-range, the failure of the original bubble solution to…
The Klein-Gordon equations were recently solved in general relativity for the case of a plane-symmetric static massless scalar field with cosmological constant. By analytic continuation, time-dependent solutions can be obtained that…

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…
In this note we derive a bound using data from cosmic rays physics on a model recently proposed to solve the hierarchy problem by lowering the Planck scale to the TeV region without the introduction of extra-dimensions. We show that the non…
We present a new (1+3)-brane solution to Einstein equations in (1+5)-space. As distinct from previous models this solution is free of singularities in the full 6-dimensional space-time. The gravitational potential transverse to the brane is…
In this work we intend to discuss the solitonic solutions of Einstein's field equations in vacuum by constructing the solution to N solitons and studying some aspects of it. In conclusion, it will be shown how the Kerr black hole can be…
Instead of solving the fine-tuning problems by some automatic method or by cancelling the quadratic divergencies in the hierarchy problem by a symmetry (such as SUSY), we rather propose to look for a unification of the different fine-tuning…
I address: (1) dynamical, likely local Higgs mass generation as resolution to the 4D hierarchy and vacuum energy problems, (2) possibility that top condensation may be explained by an interplay among the gluon and scalar sectors, (3) the…
A cosmological scenario is proposed, which simultaneously solves the mass hierarchy and the small dark energy problem. In the present scenario an effective gravity mass scale (inverse of the Newton's constant) increases during the…
We consider a toy model with flat thin branes embedded in a 5-dimensional Weyl integrable manifold, where the geometric Weyl scalar provides the material that constitute the brane configurations. The brane configuration is similar to the…
We study the theory of a (global) texture with DBI-like Lagrangian, the higher-dimensional generalization of the previously known chiral Born-Infeld theory. This model evades Derrick's theorem and enables the existence of solitonic…
We shall consider about a 3-brane embedded in six-dimensional space-time with a negative bulk cosmological constant. The 3-brane is constructed by a topological soliton solution living in two-dimensional axially symmetric transverse…
We consider six dimensional brane world models with a compact and a warped extra dimension with five dimensional branes. We find that such scenarios have many interesting features arising from both ADD and Randall-Sundrum -models. In…
We re-examine the properties of the axially-symmetric solutions to chiral gauged 6D supergravity, recently found in refs. hep-th/0307238 and hep-th/0308064. Ref. hep-th/0307238 finds the most general solutions having two singularities which…
