Warped compactification on Abelian vortex in six dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the possibility of localizing gravity on a Nielsen-Olesen vortex in the context of the Abelian Higgs model. The vortex lives in a sixdimensional space-time with negative bulk cosmological constant. In this model we find a region of the parameter space leading, simultaneously, to warped compactification and to regular space-time geometry. A thin defect limit is studied. Regular solutions describing warped compactifications in the case of higher winding number are also presented.

Warped Compactification with an Abelian Gauge Theory
We investigate warped compactification with an abelian gauge theory in six dimensions. The vanishing cosmological constant in four dimensions can generically be realized with a regular metric even in a 3-brane background without fine tuning of couplings.
متن کاملSix-dimensional Abelian vortices with quadratic curvature self-interactions
Six-dimensional Nielsen-Olesen vortices are analyzed in the context of a quadratic gravity theory containing Euler-Gauss-Bonnet self-interactions. The relations among the string tensions can be tuned in such a way that the obtained solutions lead to warped compactification on the vortex. New regular solutions are possible in comparison with the case where the gravity action only consists of the...
متن کاملWarped Compactification with a Four-Brane
Warped compactification of the six-dimensional bulk with a negative cosmological constant is realized with a 4-brane along with an abelian gauge theory. No fine tuning of couplings are needed to obtain the vanishing cosmological constant in four dimensions, as is the case for the bulk with a positive cosmological constant.
متن کاملStatic dilaton solutions and singularities in six dimensional warped compactification with higher derivatives
Static solutions with a bulk dilaton are derived in the context of six dimensional warped compactification. In the string frame, exponentially decreasing warp factors are identified with critical points of the low energy β-functions truncated at a given order in the string tension corrections. The stability of the critical points is discussed in the case of the first string tension correction. ...
متن کاملGauge field localization on Abelian vortices in six dimensions
The vector and tensor fluctuations of vortices localizing gravity in the context of the six-dimensional Abelian Higgs model are studied. These string-like solutions break spontaneously six-dimensional Poincaré invariance leading to a finite four-dimensional Planck mass and to a regular geometry both in the bulk and on the core of the vortex. While the tensor modes of the metric are decoupled an...
