Anomaly-free brane worlds in seven dimensions.

چکیده
We present an orbifold compactification of the minimal seven-dimensional supergravity. The vacuum is a slice of seven-dimensional anti-de Sitter space where six-branes of opposite tension are located at the orbifold fixed points. The cancellation of gauge and gravitational anomalies restricts the gauge group and matter content on the boundaries. In addition, anomaly cancellation fixes the boundary gauge couplings in terms of the gravitational constant, and the mass parameter of the Chern-Simons term.

Is Our Universe Brany ?
Brane-world models, which have received a lot of attention during the last few years, are essentially characterized by two basic ideas: • they assume the existence of spatial extra dimensions, in addition to our four space-time dimensions. The higher dimensional spacetime is usually called the “bulk” spacetime; • our accessible Universe is assumed to be a submanifold, called “brane”, embedded i...
متن کاملBrane worlds with bolts
We construct a family of (p+3)–dimensional brane worlds in which the brane has one compact extra dimension, the bulk has two extra dimensions, and the bulk closes regularly at codimension two submanifolds known as bolts. The (p + 1)–dimensional low energy spacetime Mlow may be any Einstein space with an arbitrary cosmological constant, the value of the bulk cosmological constant is arbitrary, a...
متن کاملExtra Force in Brane Worlds
By carefully analyzing the geodesic motion of a test particle in the bulk of brane worlds, we identify an extra force which is recognized in spacetime of one lower dimensions as a non-gravitational force acting on the particle. Such extra force acts on the particle in such a way that the conventional particle mechanics in one lower dimensions is violated, thereby hinting at the higher-dimension...
متن کاملThe Bazanski Approach in Brane Worlds : A Brief Introduction February 27 , 2008
1 Paths of test particles, rotating and charged objects in brane-worlds using a modified Bazanski Lagrangian are derived. We also discuss the transition to their corresponding equations in four dimensions. We then make a comparison between the given equations in brane-worlds (BW) and their analog in space-time-matter (STM) theory.
متن کاملProbing Solitons in Brane Worlds
We study dynamics of a probe p-brane and a test particle in the field background of fully localized solutions describing the source p-brane within the worldvolume of the source domain wall. We find that the probe dynamics in the background of the source p-brane in one lower dimensions is not reproduced, indicating that p-branes within the worldvolume of domain walls perhaps describe an exotic p...
