Quantised bulk fields in the Randall-Sundrum compactification model∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The quantisation of a scalar field in the five-dimensional model suggested by Randall and Sundrum is considered. Using the KaluzaKlein reduction of the scalar field, discussed by Goldberger and Wise, we sum the infinite tower of modes to find the vacuum energy density. Dimensional regularisation is used and we compute the pole term needed for renormalisation, as well as the finite part of the energy density. Some comments are made concerning the possible self-consistent determination of the radius. To appear in Physics Letters B. E-mail address: [email protected]

Inflation with bulk fields in the Randall-Sundrum warped compactification?
Abstract. Randall and Sundrum have proposed that we live on a brane embedded in 5-dimensional anti-deSitter space, as a solution to the hierarchy problem. We examine the possibility of using a scalar field in the 5-D bulk as the inflaton, and show that it gives results which are indistinguishable from an inflaton which is restricted to our brane. This makes it difficult to get large enough dens...
متن کاملBB̄ mixing with the bulk fields in the Randall-Sundrum model
We calculate the BB̄ mixing in the Randall-Sundrum bulk model. In this model, all the Standard Model fields except the Higgs can reside in the bulk. Two suggestive models of ”mixed” and ”relaxed” scenarios are considered. We find that the enhancement of the loop function is 0.51% for the ”relaxed” and 1.07% for the ”mixed” scenario when the first 4th KK modes are included, for a bulk fermion mas...
متن کاملBulk Gauge Fields in the Randall - Sundrum Model ∗
We explore the consequences of placing the Standard Model gauge fields in the bulk of the recently proposed localized gravity model of Randall and Sundrum. We find that the Kaluza Klein excitations of these fields are necessarily strongly coupled and we demonstrate that current precision electroweak data constrain the lowest states to lie above ' 23 TeV. Taking the weak scale to be ∼ 1 TeV, the...
متن کاملRadion Couplings to Bulk Fields in the Randall-Sundrum Model
The radion may be the lightest new state present in the Randall-Sundrum(RS) model. We examine the couplings of the radion to the Standard Model(SM) fields in the scenario where they propagate in the bulk and expand into Kaluza-Klein towers. These couplings are then contrasted with those of the more familiar case where the SM fields are confined to the TeV brane. We find that the couplings of th...
متن کاملInflation and Gauge Hierarchy in Randall-Sundrum Compactification
We obtain the general inflationary solutions for the slab of five-dimensional AdS spacetime where the fifth dimension is an orbifold S/Z2 and two threebranes reside at its boundaries, of which the Randall-Sundrum model corresponds to the static limit. The investigation of the general solutions and their static limit reveals that the RS model recasts both the cosmological constant problem and th...
