We construct a regular five-dimensional brane-world with localised gravity on a flat 3-brane. The matter content in the bulk is parametrised by an analog of a non-linear fluid with equation of state $p=\gamma\rho^\lambda$ between the…
We discuss a Brane World scenario where we live on a 3-brane with massive gravity in infinite-volume bulk. The bulk graviton can be much heavier than the inverse Hubble size, as heavy as the bulk Planck scale, whose lower bound is roughly…
In this paper, we compute the massive modes of scalar and gauge fields in a multiply warped brane-world scenario in six-dimensional spacetime with a Freedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric. The massive Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes of the fields…
We present a new type of self-tuning mechanism for ($3+p$)d brane world models in the framework of gravity-scalar theory. This new type of self-tuning mechanism exhibits a remarkable feature. In the limit $g_s \to 0$, $g_s$ being the string…
We derive the action for the non-abelian field theory living on parallel non-BPS D3-branes in type IIA theory on the orbifold T^4/I_4(-1)^F_L. The classical moduli space for the massless scalars originating in the ``would be'' tachyonic…
In generalized Randall-Sundrum (RS) model with dilaton where bulk potential is generated by the antisymmetric tensor field the mass term of this field is introduced into the brane's Action. This permits to stabilize brane's position and…
Braneworld models may yield interesting effects ranging from high-energy physics to cosmology, or even some low-energy physics. Their mode structure modifies standard results in these physical realms that can be tested and used to set…
We study gravity in codimension-2 brane world scenarios with infinite volume extra dimensions. In particular, we consider the case where the brane has non-zero tension. The extra space then is a two-dimensional ``wedge'' with a deficit…
In recent papers on Randall-Sundrum D-braneworld model with Z_2 symmetry, it was shown that the effective gravity does not work as usual, that is, the gravity does not couple to the gauge field localised on the brane in a usual way. At…
Four dimensional gravity in the low energy limit of a higher dimensional theory has been expected to be a (generalized) Brans-Dicke theory. A subtle point in brane world scenarios is that the system of four dimensional effective…
In brane-world scenarios, the effective action of a massless bulk \(U(1)\) gauge field preserves gauge invariance via couplings between massive vector Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes and scalar KK modes. In this work, we extend this framework by…
The brane-worlds model was inspired partly by Kaluza-Klein's theory, where the gravitation and the gauge fields are obtained of a geometry of higher dimension (bulk). Such a model has been showing positive in the sense of we find…
It has been claimed that whereas scalars can be bound to a Randall-Sundrum brane, higher p-form potentials cannot, in contradiction with the Hodge duality between 0-form and 3-form potentials in the five-dimensional bulk. Here we show that…
The braneworld cosmological model was constructed by embedding a 3-brane into a higher dimensional bulk background geometry and the usual matter of our universe was assumed to be confined in the brane while the gravity can propagate in the…
We analyze a class of 5D models where a 3 brane is generated by a bulk scalar field non minimally coupled to gravity. We show that perturbative stability of such branes is normally guaranteed although non minimal couplings are not innocuous…
We carefully investigate the gravitational equations of the brane world, in which all the matter forces except gravity are confined on the 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime with $Z_2$ symmetry. We derive the effective gravitational…
We study the stabilization of inter-brane spacing modulus of generalized warped brane models with a nonzero brane cosmological constant. Employing Goldberger-Wise stabilization prescription of brane world models with a bulk scalar field, we…
We propose a method of determining masses in brane scenarios which is independent of coordinate transformations. We apply our method to the scenario of Randall and Sundrum (RS) with two branes, which provides a solution to the hierarchy…
We derive the low energy effective theory for two branes system solving the bulk geometry formally in the covariant curvature formalism developed by Shiromizu, Maeda and Sasaki. As expected, the effective theory looks like a Einstein-scalar…
We consider a braneworld inflation model driven by the dynamics of a scalar field living in the 5-dimensional bulk, the so-called ``bulk inflaton model'', and investigate the geometry in the bulk and large scale cosmological perturbations…
