Abstract

We investigate coupled gravity and a bulk scalar field on a slice of AdS_5 bulk with special BPS branes at the two ends. With the special scalar potentials on the branes the scalar field does not stabilize the size of the orbifold. With a careful treatment of the general coordinate invariance the complete tensor-scalar spectrum is presented. There are two massless zero modes in the scalar sector, the radion and a dilatonic zero mode. The scalar KK modes acquire masses at the order of the warped mass scale. The four dimensional effective action is of tensor-scalar type.
