Gauge-invariant fluctuations of scalar branes
نویسنده
چکیده
A generalization of the Bardeen formalism to the case of warped geometries is presented. The system determining the gauge-invariant fluctuations of the metric induced by the scalar fluctuations of the brane is reduced to a set of Schrödinger-like equations for the Bardeen potentials and for the canonical normal modes of the scalar-tensor action. Scalar, vector and tensor modes of the geometry are classified according to four-dimensional Lorentz transformations. While the tensor modes of the geometry live on the brane determining the corrections to Newton law, the scalar and and vector fluctuations exhibit non normalizable zero modes and are, consequently, not localized on the brane. The spectrum of the massive modes of the fluctuations is analyzed using supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Preprint Number: UNIL-IPT-01-07, May 2001 ∗Electronic address: [email protected] 1

Graviphoton and graviscalars delocalization in brane world scenarios
A manifestly gauge-invariant theory of gravitational fluctuations of brane-world scenarios is discussed. Without resorting to any specific gauge choice, a general method is presented in order to disentangle the fluctuations of the brane energymomentum from the fluctuations of the metric. As an application of the formalism, the localization of metric fluctuations on scalar branes breaking sponta...
متن کاملLocalization of metric fluctuations on scalar branes
The localization of metric fluctuations on scalar brane configurations breaking spontaneously five-dimensional Poincaré invariance is discussed. Assuming that the fourdimensional Planck mass is finite and that the geometry is regular, it is demonstrated that the vector and scalar fluctuations of the metric are not localized on the brane.

Noncommutative U (N) gauge theories at different N may be often thought of as different sectors of a single theory. For instance, U (1) theory possesses a sequence of vacua labeled by an integer parameter N , and the theory in the vicinity of the N-th vacuum coincides with the U (N) noncommutative gauge theory. We construct domain walls on noncommutative plane, which separate vacua with differe...

متن کاملVector field localization and negative tension branes
It is shown that negative tension branes in higher dimensions may lead to an effective lower dimensional theory where the gauge-invariant vector fields associated with the fluctuations of the metric are always massless and localized on the brane. Explicit five-dimensional examples of this phenomenon are provided. Furthermore, it is shown that higher dimensional gauge fields can also be localize...
