Five-dimensional field theories compactified on an S^1/Z_2 orbifold naturally include local brane kinetic terms at the orbifold fixed points at the tree as well as the quantum level. We study the quantization of these theories before the…
Motivated by stringy considerations, Randall & Sundrum have proposed a model where all the fields and particles of physics, save gravity, are confined on a 4-dimensional brane embedded in 5-dimensional anti-deSitter space. Their scenario…
We solve for the cosmological perturbations in a five-dimensional background consisting of two separating or colliding boundary branes, as an expansion in the collision speed V divided by the speed of light c. Our solution permits a…
Evaluating Kaluza-Klein (KK) corrections is indispensable to test the braneworld scenario. In this paper, we propose a novel symmetry approach to a 4-dimensional effective action with KK corrections for the Randall-Sundrum two-brane system.…
We derive the low energy effective theory on a brane in six-dimensional chiral supergravity. The conical 3-brane singularities are resolved by introducing cylindrical codimension one 4-branes whose interiors are capped by a regular…
We present the explicit form of the four-dimensional effective supergravity action which describes low-energy physics of the Randall--Sundrum model with moduli fields in the bulk and charged chiral matter living on the branes. The…
We compute the one-loop correction to the radion potential in the Randall-Sundrum model with detuned brane tensions, with supersymmetry broken by boundary conditions. We concentrate on the small-warping limit, where the one-loop correction…
We consider a class of 5-D brane-world solutions with a power-law warp factor $a(y)\propto y^{q}$, and bulk dilaton with profile $\phi \propto \ln y$, where $y$ is the proper distance in the extra dimension. This class includes the…
We study the binding of a small black hole to a positive-tension brane in the second Randall-Sundrum scenario (RS2) with orbifold symmetry. We find that a small black hole on the brane has substantial gravitational binding energy to the…
We study the effect of the inclusion of bulk brane viscosity on brane world (BW) cosmology in the framework of the Eckart's theory, we focus in the Randall-Sundrum model with negative tension on the brane.
We compute how one-loop bulk effects renormalize both bulk and brane effective interactions for geometries sourced by codimension-two branes. We do so by explicitly integrating out spin-zero, -half and -one particles in 6-dimensional…
The low energy effective theory for the Randall-Sundrum two-brane system is investigated with an emphasis on the role of the non-linear radion in the brane world. It is shown that the gravity on the brane world is described by a…
In this thesis we study the dynamics of higher-dimensional gravity in a universe emerging from a brane collision. We develop a set of powerful analytic methods which, we believe, render braneworld cosmological perturbation theory solvable.…
Fermion self-energy associated with wave function renormalization is studied in a five-dimensional Yukawa theory on the orbifold S1/Z2. One-loop divergence can be subtracted with only two renormalization constants in the bulk and on the…
We derive exact solutions of the Einstein equations in the context of the Randall-Sundrum model with matter on the brane and in the bulk. We present two models in which the brane moves within a time-dependent bulk. We study the cosmological…
Motivated by the problem of the evolution of bulk gravitational waves in Randall-Sundrum cosmology, we develop a characteristic numerical scheme to solve 1+1 dimensional wave equations in the presence of a moving timelike boundary. The…
The radion equilibrium in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model is guaranteed by the back-reaction of a bulk scalar field. In this paper we study an extended scenario, where an intermediate brane exists in addition to the two branes at the fixed…
Two flat Randall - Sundrum three-branes are analyzed, at fixed mutual distance, in the case where each brane contains an ideal isotropic fluid. Both fluids are to begin with assumed to obey the equation of state p=(\gamma -1)\rho, where…
We develop further the effective fluid theory of stationary branes. This formalism applies to stationary blackfolds as well as to other equilibrium brane systems at finite temperature. The effective theory is described by a Lagrangian…
It is generic for the bulk fields sourced by branes having codimension two and higher to diverge at the brane position, much as does the Coulomb potential at the position of its source charge. This complicates finding the relation between…
