k-stabilization in brane models
نویسنده
چکیده
Stabilization of inter–brane distance is analyzed in 5–dimensional models with higher–order scalar kinetic terms. Equations of motion and boundary conditions for background and for scalar perturbations are presented. Conditions sufficient and (with one exception) necessary for stability are derived and discussed. It is shown that it is possible to construct stable brane configurations even without scalar potentials and cosmological constants. As a byproduct we identify a large class of non–standard boundary conditions for which the Sturm–Liouville operator is hermitian.

A Remark on Brane Stabilization in Brane World
In this note we discuss dynamical mechanisms for brane stabilization in the brane world context. In particular, we consider supersymmetry preserving brane stabilization, and also brane stabilization accompanied by supersymmetry breaking. These mechanisms are realized in some four dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric orientifold models. For illustrative purposes we consider two explicit orientifold ...
متن کاملSeeing through the String Landscape - a String Hunter’s Companion in Particle Physics and Cosmology∗
In this article we will overview several aspects of the string landscape, namely intersecting D-brane models and their statistics, possible model independent LHC signatures of intersecting brane models, flux compactification, moduli stabilization in type II compactifications, domain wall solutions and brane inflation.
متن کاملNonconservation of global quantum numbers in RS-type models
In Randall-Sundrum type scenarios the effective size of the extra dimension remains unconstrained. A TeV-scale brane tension without orbifold boundary conditions would allow phenomenologically observable processes at high energy colliders. Among others, the brane could fragment into bubbles that fly away for good or return within a time ≤ O(1mm)/c. Particles trapped on the bubbles may fake nonc...
متن کاملStable , Time - Dependent , Exact Solutions for Brane Models with a Bulk Scalar Field
We derive two classes of brane-world solutions arising in the presence of a bulk scalar field. For static field configurations, we adopt a time-dependent, factorizable metric ansatz that allows for radion stabilization. The solutions are characterized by a non-trivial warping along the extra dimension, even in the case of a vanishing bulk cosmological constant, and lead to a variety of inflatio...
متن کاملGravitational Radius Stabilization in Supersymmetric Warped Compactification
We examine the possibility of the extra dimensional radius stabilization with only the gravity multiplet in the bulk and some couplings at orbifold fixed points in a supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum model. Unfortunately, we find that the radius cannot be stabilized in all the cases we consider. Depending on parameters in the model, the fifth dimension collapses or its radius goes to infinity. Whi...
