Generation of Neutrino Mass in a Kalb-Ramond Background in Large Extra Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 term for the four dimensional neutrino after a suitable large radius compactification of the extra dimensions.

Existence of Wormholes in Einstein-kalb-ramond Space Time
In recent, Kar.S et.al [ Phys Rev D 67,044005 (2003) ] have obtained static spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Kalb-Ramond field equations. We have shown that their solutions, indeed, represent Wormholes. In Einstein-Cartan theory, the symmetric Christoffel connection is modified with the introduction of an anti-symmetric tensorial term,known as space time torsion, which is presume...
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 کاملTopological mass term in effective Brane-World scenario with torsion
In this work we investigate a braneworld scenario where a Kalb-Ramond field propagates, together with gravity, in a five dimensional AdS slice. The rank-2 Kalb-Ramond field is associated with torsion. We study the compactification of the Kalb-Ramond field to four dimensional space-time without gauge fixing, focusing on the effects of torsion. On the brane the Kalb-Ramond field interacts with Aμ...
متن کاملDuality and Bosonisation in Arbitrary Dimensions
A functional integral approach is developed to discuss the bosonisation of the massive Thirring and the massive Schwinger models in arbitrary D-dimensions. It is found that these models, to all orders in the inverse fermi mass, bosonise to a theory involving a usual gauge field and a (D-2) rank antisymmetric (Kalb-Ramond) tensor field. Explicit bosonisation identities for the fermion current ar...
متن کاملOn a Unified Theory of Generalized Branes Coupled to Gauge Fields, Including the Gravitational and Kalb-Ramond Fields
We investigate a theory in which fundamental objects are branes described in terms of higher grade coordinates X1n encoding both the motion of a brane as a whole, and its volume evolution. We thus formulate a dynamics which generalizes the dynamics of the usual branes. Geometrically, coordinates X1n and associated coordinate frame fields {γμ1...μn} extend the notion of geometry from spacetime t...
