Torsion Constraints in the Randall–Sundrum Scenario
نویسنده
چکیده
Torsion appears due to fermions coupled to gravity and leads to the strongest particle physics bounds on flat extra dimensions. In this work, we consider torsion constraints in the case of a warped extra dimension with brane and bulk fermions. From current data we obtain a 3σ bound on the TeV–brane mass scale Λπ ≥ 2.2 (10) TeV for the AdS curvature k = 1 (0.01) in (reduced) Planck units. If Dirac or light sterile neutrinos reside on the brane, the bound increases to 17 (78) TeV.

Does a randall-sundrum scenario create the illusion of a torsion-free universe?
We consider spacetime with torsion in a Randall-Sundrum scenario where torsion, identified with the rank-2 Kalb-Ramond field, exists in the bulk together with gravity. While the interactions of both graviton and torsion in the bulk are controlled by the Planck mass, an additional exponential suppression comes for the torsion zero-mode on the visible brane. This may serve as a natural explanatio...
متن کاملA Randall-Sundrum scenario with bulk dilaton and torsion
We consider a string-inspired torsion-dilaton-gravity action in a Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario and show that, in an effective four-dimensional theory on the visible brane, the rank-2 antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond field (source of torsion) is exponentially suppressed. The result is similar to our earlier result in [13], where no dilaton was present in the bulk. This offers an explanation of ...
متن کاملUnitarity constraints on the stabilized Randall-Sundrum scenario
The recently proposed stabilization mechanism for the Randall-Sundrum metric gives rise to a light scalar radion, that couples to matter much as the Standard Model Higgs. The characteristic scale for these couplings is ∼ O(1 TeV). Demanding that gauge boson scattering as described by the effective low energy theory be unitary upto a given energy scale leads to significant constraints on the par...
متن کاملBulk Kalb-Ramond field in Randall Sundrum scenario
We have considered the most general gauge invariant five-dimensional action of a second rank antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond tensor gauge theory, including a topological term of the form ǫBABHLMN in a Randall-Sundrum scenario. Such a tensor field BAB (whose rank-3 field strength tensor is HLMN ), which appears in the massless sector of a heterotic string theory, is assumed to coexist with the gravity...
متن کاملRadion Phenomenology in the Randall Sundrum Scenario
Phenomenology of a radion (φ) in the Randall-Sundrum scenario is discussed. The radion couples to the trace of energy momentum tensor of the standard model with a strength suppressed only by a new scale (Λφ) which is an order of the electroweak scale. In particular, the effective coupling of a radion to two gluons is enhanced due to the trace anomaly of QCD. Therefore, its production cross sect...
