چکیده
One of the most interesting features of braneworld models is the existence of massive gravitational modes in addition to the usual massless one. Mixing of the modes which depends nontrivially on the inter-brane distance can be interpreted as radion-induced gravitational-wave oscillations, a classical analogy to meson and neutrino oscillations. We show that these oscillations arising in M-theory inspired two-brane setups could lead to effects detectable by gravitational-wave interferometers.

Graviton oscillations in the two-brane world
We study the braneworld effective action in the two-brane RandallSundrum model. In the framework of this essentially-nonlocal action we reveal the origin of an infinite sequence of gravitational wave modes — the usual massless one as well as the tower of Kaluza-Klein massive ones. Mixing of the modes, which parametrically depends on the background value of the modulus of the extra dimension, ca...
متن کاملRadion-induced brane preheating.
When the interbrane separation in the compact Randall-Sundrum model is stabilized using the Goldberger-Wise mechanism, a potential is generated for the four-dimensional field, the radion, that encodes this separation. Coherent oscillations of the radion in the early universe will produce an exponential growth in the number of brane particles due to parametric amplification. We describe the cond...
متن کاملVariable-Speed-of-Light Cosmology from Brane World Scenario
We argue that the four-dimensional universe on the TeV brane of the RandallSundrum scenario takes the bimetric structure of Clayton and Moffat, with gravitons traveling faster than photons instead, while the radion varies with time. We show that such brane world bimetric model can thereby solve the flatness and the cosmological constant problems, provided the speed of a graviton decreases to th...
متن کاملBrane World Scenario with m-form field: Stabilisation of Radion Modulus and Self Tuning Solutions
We consider (n + m + 1) dimensional bulk spacetime, containing flat (n + m 1) dimensional parallel branes, with topology R ×Tm. We assume that the graviton and an m-form field are the only bulk fields and that the m-form field has non vanishing components along the T directions only. We then find that the m-form field, with suitable bulk and brane potentials, can stabilise the radion modulus at...
متن کاملMassive Gravity on a Brane
At present no theory of a massive graviton is known that is consistent with experiments at both long and short distances. The problem is that consistency with long distance experiments requires the graviton mass to be very small. Such a small graviton mass however implies an ultraviolet cutoff for the theory at length scales far larger than the millimeter scale at which gravity has already been...
