Singular Quantum Mechanical Viewpoint of Localized Gravity in Brane-World Scenario
نویسنده
چکیده
The graviton localized on the 3-brane is examined in Randall-Sundrum braneworld scenario from the viewpoint of one-dimensional singular quantum mechanics. For the Randall-Sundrum single brane scenario the one-parameter family of the fixed-energy amplitude is explicitly computed where the free parameter ξ parametrizes the various boundary conditions at the brane. The general criterion for the localized graviton to be massless is derived when ξ is arbitrary but non-zero. When ξ = 0, the massless graviton is obtained via a coupling constant renormalization. For the two branes picture the fixedenergy amplitude is in general dependent on the two free parameters. The numerical test indicates that there is no massless graviton in this picture. For the positive-tension brane, however, the localized graviton becomes massless when the distance between branes are infinitely large, which is essentially identical to the single brane picture. For the negative-tension brane there is no massless graviton regardless of the distance between branes and choice of boundary conditions.

Newton Law in Brane-World Scenario with 4d Induced Gravity: Singular Quantum Mechanical Approach
From the viewpoint of the singular quantum mechanics the effect of the energy-dependent coupling constant for δ-function potential is examined. The energy-dependence of the coupling constant naturally generates the timederivative in the boundary condition of the Euclidean propagator. This is explicitly confirmed by making use of the simple 1d model. The result is applied to the linearized gravi...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
متن کاملFlat 3-brane with tension in cascading gravity.
In the cascading gravity brane-world scenario, our 3-brane lies within a succession of lower-codimension branes, each with their own induced gravity term, embedded into each other in a higher-dimensional space-time. In the (6+1)-dimensional version of this scenario, we show that a 3-brane with tension remains flat, at least for sufficiently small tension that the weak-field approximation is val...
متن کاملCompromise of Localized Graviton with a Small Cosmological Constant in Randall-Sundrum Scenario
A new mechanism which leads to a linearized massless graviton localized on the brane is found in theAdS/CFT setting, i.e. in a single copy of AdS5 spacetime with a singular brane on the boundary, within the Randall-Sundrum brane-world scenario. With an help of a recent development in path-integral techniques, a one-parameter family of propagators for linearized gravity is obtained analytically,...
متن کاملDark Radiation and Localization of Gravity on the Brane
We discuss the dynamics of a spherically symmetric dark radiation vaccum in the Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario. Under certain natural assumptions we show that the Einstein equations on the brane form a closed system. For a de Sitter brane we determine exact dynamical and inhomogeneous solutions which depend on the brane cosmological constant, on the dark radiation tidal charge and on its ...
