The localization of chiral fermionic zero modes in scalar field backgrounds with domain wall structure is a central mechanism in brane-world scenarios. We investigate this mechanism in a system that provides an effective realization of the…

We consider a five-dimensional model in which fermions are confined in a hypersurface due to an interaction with a purely geometric field. Inspired by the Rubakov-Shaposhnikov field-theoretical model, in which massless fermions can be…

We introduce new realistic brane-solutions with exponential scale factors in the 6D-space-time. We show that for these solutions the zero modes of all bulk fields are sharply localized at different positions on the brane and have "Gaussian…

We build rigorously the attractive five-dimensional model where bulk fermions propagate along the $ \mathcal{S}^1 / \mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold and interact with a Higgs boson localised at a fixed point of the extra dimension. The analytical…

We consider a brane generated by a scalar field domain wall configuration in 4+1 dimensions, interpolating, in most cases, between two vacua of the field. We study the cosmology of such a system in the cases where the effective…
