Gravity localization on thick branes: a numerical approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a numerical procedure to investigate the spectrum of massive modes and its contribution for gravity localization on thick branes. After considering a model with an analytically known Schroedinger potential, we present the method and discuss its applicability. With this procedure we can study several models even when the Schroedinger potential is not known analytically. We discuss both the occurrence of localization of gravity and the correction to the Newtonian potential given by the massive modes.

The massive Elko spinor field in the de Sitter braneworld model
The Elko spinor field is a spin 1/2 fermionic quantum field with a mass dimension introduced as a candidate of dark matter. In this work, we study the localization of Elko fields on a de Sitter thick brane constructed by a canonical or phantom scalar field. By presenting the mass-independent potentials of Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in the corresponding Schrödinger equations, it is shown that the E...
متن کاملLocalization of Matters on Pure Geometrical Thick Branes
In the literatures, several types of thick smooth brane configurations in a pure geometric Weyl integrable 5-dimensional space time have been presented. The Weyl geometry is a non-Riemannian modification of 5-dimensional Kaluza–Klein (KK) theory. All these thick brane solutions preserve 4-dimensional Poincaré invariance, and some of them break Z2–symmetry along the extra dimension. In this pape...

Thick branes obtained from a bulk action containing Gauss-Bonnet selfinteractions are analyzed in light of the localization properties of the various modes of the geometry. The entangled system describing the localization of the tensor, vector and scalar fluctuation is decoupled in terms of variables invariant for infinitesimal coordinate transformations. The dynamics of the various zero modes ...
متن کاملFermions on Thick Branes in Background of Sine-Gordon Kinks
A class of thick branes in background of Sine-Gordon kinks had been constructed in hep-th/0407158 (Ref. [1]). In the background of the warped geometry and the kink, the localization problem of massive fermions on the branes had also been discussed, and discrete massive fermion states on the branes were obtained. In this paper, we reinvestigate the issue of localization of spin half fermions on ...
متن کاملThick branes and 4D gravity
The induced 4d gravity on a brane world is analyzed. The case of a thick brane is considered and the unexpected appearance of a new threshold scale, much larger than the thickness scale is found. In cases of phenomenological interest, this new length scale turns out to be in the submillimeter range. The effect of R corrections, both in the bulk and on the brane, is also studied. It is shown tha...
