Self-tuning flat domain walls in 5d gravity and string theory

چکیده
We present Poincare invariant domain wall (“3-brane”) solutions to some 5-dimensional effective theories which can arise naturally in string theory. In particular, we find theories where Poincare invariant solutions exist for arbitrary values of the brane tension, for certain restricted forms of the bulk interactions. We describe examples in string theory where it would be natural for the quantum corrections to the tension of the brane (arising from quantum fluctuations of modes with support on the brane) to maintain the required form of the action. In such cases, the Poincare invariant solutions persist in the presence of these quantum corrections to the brane tension, so that no 4d cosmological constant is generated by these modes.

Bulk Fields in Dilatonic and Self-Tuning Flat Domain Walls
We study the Kaluza-Klein zero modes of massless bulk fields with various spins in the background of dilatonic and self-tuning flat domain walls. We find that the zero modes of all the massless bulk fields in such domain wall backgrounds are normalizable, unlike those in the background of the non-dilatonic domain wall with infinite extra space of Randall and Sundrum. In particular, gravity in t...
متن کاملA Self-tuning Exact Solution and the Non-existence of Horizons in 5d Gravity-Scalar System
We present an exact thick domain wall solution with naked singularities to five dimensional gravity coupled with a scalar field with exponential potential. In our solution we found exactly the special coefficient of the exponent as coming from compactification of string theory with cosmological constant. We show that this solution is self-tuning when a 3-brane is included. In searching for a so...
متن کاملEinstein Gravity on a Brane in 5 D Non - compact Flat Spacetime – DGP model revisited –
We revisit the 5D gravity model by Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP). In the model it was shown that even in 5D non-compact Minkowski space, the Newtonian gravity can emerge on a brane at short distance by introducing a brane-localized 4D Ricci scalar δ(z)M2 4 R̄4 in the action. Based on this idea, we construct simple setups in which graviton standing waves can arise, and we introduce a z deri...

We revisit the 5D gravity model by Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP). Within their framework it was shown that even in 5D non-compact Minkowski space (x, z), the Newtonian gravity can emerge on a brane at short distances by introducing a brane-localized 4D Einstein-Hilbert term δ(z)M2 4 √ |ḡ4|R̄4 in the action. Based on this idea, we construct simple setups in which graviton standing waves can...
متن کاملBrane gravity , massless bulk scalar and self - tuning solution of the cosmological constant problem
We show that a self-tuning mechanism of the cosmological constant could work in 5D non-compact space with Z 2 symmetry with scalar kinetic energy term. The standard model matter fields live only on the 4 dimensional (4D) brane. The change of vacuum energy on the brane (brane cosmological constant) by, for instance, electroweak and QCD phase transitions, just gives rise to dynamical shifts of th...
