Universal torsion-induced interaction from large extra dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the Kaluza-Klein (KK) scenario in which only gravity exists in the bulk. Without the assumption of symmetric connection, the presence of brane fermions induces torsion. The result is a universal axial contact interaction that dominates those induced by KK gravitons. This enhancement arises from a large spin density on the brane. Using a global fit to Z-pole observables, we find the 3sigma bound on the scale of quantum gravity to be 28 TeV for n = 2. If Dirac or light sterile neutrinos are present, the data from SN1987A increase the bound to sqrt[n] M(S)>/=210 TeV.

Generation of Neutrino Mass in a Kalb-Ramond Background in Large Extra Dimensions
In this paper we investigate whether spacetime torsion induced by a KalbRamond field in a string inspired background can generate a mass for the lefthanded neutrino. We consider an Einstein-Dirac-Kalb-Ramond lagrangian in higher dimensional spacetime with torsion generated by the Kalb-Ramond antisymmetric field in the presence of a bulk fermion. We show that such a coupling can generate a mass ...
متن کاملBulk torsion fields in theories with large extra dimensions
We study the consequences of spacetime torsion coexisting with gravity in the bulk in scenarios with large extra dimensions. Having linked torsion with the Kalb-Ramond antisymmetric tensor field arising in string theories, we examine its artifacts on the visible 3-brane when the extra dimensions are compactified. It is found that while torsion would have led to parity violation in a 4-dimension...
متن کاملKaluza - Klein Effects on Higgs Physics in Universal Extra Dimensions
We examine the virtual effects of Kaluza-Klein (KK) states on Higgs physics in universal extra dimension models. We study the partial widths Γh→gg, Γh→γγ , and Γh→γZ , which are relevant for Higgs production and detection in future collider experiments. These interactions occur at one loop in the Standard Model, as do the KK contributions. We find that the deviations induced by the KK exchanges...
متن کاملPhenomenology of spinless adjoints in two Universal Extra Dimensions
We discuss the phenomenology of (1, 1)-mode adjoint scalars in the framework of two Universal Extra Dimensions. The Kaluza-Klein (KK) towers of these adjoint scalars arise in the 4-dimensional effective theory from the 6th component of the gauge fields after compactification. Adjoint scalars can have KK-number conserving as well as KK-number violating interactions. We calculate the KK-number vi...
متن کاملTorsion Effect on the RC Structures using Fragility Curves Concerning Soil-Structure Interaction
The existence of torsion, as well as consideration of the Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI), increase the natural periods of the structure resulting from a subsequent decrease in the seismic demand of the system. This paper summarizes the probabilistic assessment for evaluation of collapse fragility curves in concrete moment resisting structure with different mass center eccentricities. A 12-sto...
