A class of thick branes in the background of sine-Gordon kinks with a scalar potential $V(\phi)=p(1+\cos\frac{2\phi}{q})$ was constructed by R. Koley and S. Kar [Classical Quantum Gravity \textbf{22}, 753 (2005)]. In this paper, in the…
We investigate thick-brane configurations in five-dimensional $f(T,T_G)$ modified teleparallel gravity. In five dimensions, the torsional Gauss-Bonnet invariant $T_G$ contributes dynamically, leading to genuinely new effects even at linear…
Five-dimensional models where the bulk is a slice of AdS have the virtue of solving the hierarchy problem. The electroweak scale is generated by a ``warp'' factor of the induced metric on the brane where the standard model fields live.…

It is well known that in a braneworld model, the localization of fermions on lower dimensional submanifold (say a TeV 3-brane) is governed by the gravity in the bulk which also determines the corresponding phenomenology on the brane. Here…
