We analyze the perturbative stability of non-supersymmetric intersecting brane world models on tori. Besides the dilaton tadpole, a dynamical instability in the complex structure moduli space occurs at string disc level, which drives the…
This paper presents a study of brane formation in six-dimensional space. There is no a priori assumption of the brane(s) existence. However, the analysis of the generalized Einstein equations reveals that there are a set of metrics…
We analyze intersecting brane models on toroidal orbifolds T^4/Z_N(N=3,4,6). Focusing on several Higgsing processes of intersecting brane models, we have some insights into the matter spectrum on intersecting branes away from orientifold…
The non-commutative algebra which defines the theory of zero-branes on $T^4/Z_2$ allows a unified description of moduli spaces associated with zero-branes, two-branes and four-branes on the orbifold space. Bundles on a dual space $\hat…
This work deals with braneworld scenarios driven by real scalar fields with standard dynamics. We show how the first-order formalism which exists in the case of four dimensional Minkowski space-time can be extended to de Sitter or anti-de…
We propose a consistent string theory framework for embedding brane world scenarios with infinite-volume extra dimensions. In this framework the Standard Model fields are localized on D3-branes sitting on top of an orientifold 3-plane. The…
We investigate 3-dimensional globally hyperbolic AdS manifolds containing "particles", i.e., cone singularities along a graph $\Gamma$. We impose physically relevant conditions on the cone singularities, e.g. positivity of mass (angle less…
It was recently proposed that our universe could naturally come to be dominated by 3-branes and 7-branes if the universe is ten-dimensional. In this paper, we explicitly demonstrate that gravity can be localized on the intersection of three…
We present special classes of orientifold models involving supersymmetry breaking via branes at angles. Type II superstring theories are compactified on a two torus times a four-dimensional orbifold. Combining worldsheet parity with a…
We find explicitly the induced graviton propagator on de Sitter branes embedded in various five-dimensional spacetimes; de Sitter branes in AdS and Minkowski space are particular cases. By studying the structure of the momentum-space…
We show that a class of extremal four-dimensional supersymmetric ``high-branes'', i.e. string and domain wall solutions, can be interpreted as intersections of four ten-dimensional Dirichlet branes. These $d=4$ solutions are related, via…
We compute the cosmological perturbations generated in the colliding bubble braneworld universe in which bubbles filled with five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space (AdS5)expanding within a five dimensional de Sitter space (dS5) or Minkowski…
We determine, to the first order in the radius of Anti-de-Sitter, the realisation of the $OSp(6,2|2)$ superconformal algebra on vector fields. We then calculate, to this order, the superspace metric describing the background of $AdS_7\times…
We obtain the localized gravity on the intersection of two orthogonal non-solitonic or solitonic 4-branes in D=6 in the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet term. The tension of the intersection is allowed to exist unlike the case without the…
I construct solutions to Einstein's equations in 6 dimensions with bulk cosmological constant and intersecting 4-branes. Solutions exist for a continuous range of 4-brane tension, with long distance gravity localized to a 3+1 dimensional…
We study the localization of various bulk fields on an $AdS_4$ brane in $AdS_5$. In this case, for a small brane cosmological constant, all the bulk fields ranging from scalar to graviton are naturally confined to the brane only through the…
We construct N=1 supersymmetric fractional branes on the Z_6' orientifold. Intersecting stacks of such branes are needed to build a supersymmetric standard model. If $a,b$ are the stacks that generate the SU(3)_c and SU(2)_L gauge…
Supersymmetry and extra dimension need not be mutually exclusive options of physics for the TeV scale and beyond. In this paper, we envisage a phenomenological scenario by embedding the 4d constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model…
It has been previously shown that multidimensional $f(R)$ gravity {can lead} to a two-brane structure. In this paper, we analyze such a model with a spatially flat 4D de Sitter (dS) cosmology {whose Hubble parameter $H$ determines the…
We examine brane-world scenarios in which all the observed Standard Model particles reside on a brane but the Higgs is an elementary extra-dimensional scalar in the bulk. We show that, for codimension 2 branes, often-neglected interactions…
