Instability of thick brane worlds
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined 5d thick brane worlds constructed by a real scalar field. The solutions are obtained in terms of a simple form of smooth warp factor. For the case of dS brane, we found a disease of the solutions. For example, it is impossible to construct thick-brane worlds with our simple smoothing. This result is independent of supersymmetry or other symmetries. [email protected] [email protected]

Thick Brane Worlds Arising From Pure Geometry
We study a non-Riemannian modification of 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. In our proposal the Riemannian structure of the five-dimensional manifold is replaced by a Weylintegrable one. In this context a 4-dimensional Poincarè invariant solution is studied. A spacetime structure with two thick (smooth) branes separated in the extra dimension arises. The massless graviton is located in one of ...
متن کاملThick Brane Worlds and Their Stability
Three types of thick branes, i.e., Poincaré, de Sitter and Anti-de Sitter brane are considered. They are realized as the non-singular solutions of the Einstein equations with the non-trivial dilatons and the potentials. The scalar perturbations of these systems are also investigated. We find that the effective potentials of the master equations of the scalar perturbations are positive definite ...
متن کاملEinstein gravity on the codimension 2 brane?
We look at general brane worlds in six-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We find the general matching conditions for the brane world, which remarkably give precisely the four-dimensional Einstein equations for the brane, even when the extra dimensions are noncompact and have infinite volume. Relaxing regularity of the curvature in the vicinity of the brane, or having a thick brane, giv...
متن کاملIntersecting Brane Worlds on Tori and Orbifolds
We review the construction and phenomenology of intersecting brane worlds. The breaking of chiral and supersymmetry together with a reduction of gauge symmetry by introducing D-branes at generic angles into type I or type II string compactifications is taken as a starting point for the engineering of phenomenologically appealing fourdimensional vacua. Examples that come very close to Standard M...
متن کاملThick de Sitter Brane Worlds, Dynamic Black Holes and Localization of Gravity
The embedding of a thick de Sitter 3-brane into a five-dimensional bulk spacetime is considered, by assuming that in the bulk a scalar field with potential that is a power of cosine of the scalar field, is present. A class of analytical solutions has been found in a closed form, which can represent a thick de Sitter 3-brane interpolating two dynamical black holes with R × S4 topology. The gravi...
