A Randall-Sundrum scenario with bulk dilaton and torsion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a string-inspired torsion-dilaton-gravity action in a Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario and show that, in an effective four-dimensional theory on the visible brane, the rank-2 antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond field (source of torsion) is exponentially suppressed. The result is similar to our earlier result in [13], where no dilaton was present in the bulk. This offers an explanation of the apparent invisibility of torsion in our space-time. However, in this case the trilinear couplings ∼ Tev−1 between dilaton and torsion may lead to new signals in Tev scale experiments, bearing the stamp of extra warped dimensions.

Does a randall-sundrum scenario create the illusion of a torsion-free universe?
We consider spacetime with torsion in a Randall-Sundrum scenario where torsion, identified with the rank-2 Kalb-Ramond field, exists in the bulk together with gravity. While the interactions of both graviton and torsion in the bulk are controlled by the Planck mass, an additional exponential suppression comes for the torsion zero-mode on the visible brane. This may serve as a natural explanatio...
متن کاملTorsion Constraints in the Randall–Sundrum Scenario
Torsion appears due to fermions coupled to gravity and leads to the strongest particle physics bounds on flat extra dimensions. In this work, we consider torsion constraints in the case of a warped extra dimension with brane and bulk fermions. From current data we obtain a 3σ bound on the TeV–brane mass scale Λπ ≥ 2.2 (10) TeV for the AdS curvature k = 1 (0.01) in (reduced) Planck units. If Dir...
متن کاملBulk Kalb-Ramond field in Randall Sundrum scenario
We have considered the most general gauge invariant five-dimensional action of a second rank antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond tensor gauge theory, including a topological term of the form ǫBABHLMN in a Randall-Sundrum scenario. Such a tensor field BAB (whose rank-3 field strength tensor is HLMN ), which appears in the massless sector of a heterotic string theory, is assumed to coexist with the gravity...
متن کاملLocalization of Scalar Fluctuations in a Dilatonic Brane-World Scenario
We derive and solve the full set of scalar perturbation equations for a class of Z2symmetric five-dimensional geometries generated by a bulk cosmological constant and by a 3-brane non-minimally coupled to a bulk dilaton field. The massless scalar modes, like their tensor analogues, are localized on the brane, and provide long-range fourdimensional dilatonic interactions, which are generically p...
متن کاملString-Inspired Higher-Curvature Terms and the Randall-Sundrum Scenario
Abstract We consider the O(α′) string effective action, with Gauss-Bonnet curvaturesquared and forth-order dilaton-derivative terms, which is derived by a matching procedure with string amplitudes in five space-time dimensions. We show that a non-factorizable metric of the Randall-Sundrum (RS) type, with four-dimensional conformal factor e−2k|z|, can be a solution of the pertinent equations of ...
