We have studied the localization of a scalar field on a 3-brane embedded in a six-dimensional warped bulk of the form M 4 Â C 2 , where M 4 is a 3-brane and C 2 is a 2-cycle of a six-dimensional resolved conifold C 6 over a T 1;1 space. Since the resolved conifold is singularity-free in r ¼ 0 depending on a resolution parameter a, we have analyzed the behavior of the localization of a scalar field when we vary the resolution parameter. On one hand, this enables us to study the effects that a singularity has on the field. On the other hand we can use the resolution parameter as a fine-tuning between the bulk Planck mass and 3-brane Planck mass and so it opens a new perspective to extend the hierarchy problem. Using a linear and a nonlinear warp factor, we have found that the massive and massless modes are trapped to the brane even in the singular cone (a Þ 0). We have also compared the results obtained in this geometry and those obtained in other six-dimensional models, such as stringlike geometry and cigarlike universe geometry.
We have investigated the features of the gauge vector field in a braneworld scenario built as a warped product between a 3-brane and a 2-cycle of the resolved conifold. This scenario allowed us to study how the gauge field behaves when the transverse manifold evolves upon a geometric flow that controls the singularity at the origin. Also, since the transverse manifold has a cylindrical symmetry according to the 3-brane, this geometry can be regarded as a near brane correction of the stringlike branes. Indeed, by means of a new warp function and the angular metric component of the resolved conifold, the braneworld can exhibit a conical form near the origin as well as a regular behavior in that region. The analysis of the gauge field in this background has been carried out for the s-wave state and a normalizable massless mode was found. For the massive modes, the resolution parameter avoids an infinite well on the brane and controls the depth of the well and the height of the barrier around the brane. The massive modes are slightly changed near the brane but they agree with the stringlike spectrum for large distances.
In this work we analyze the properties of the gravitational Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in two stringlike braneworlds, the thin Gherghetta-Shaposhnikov (GS) model and the thick string-cigar model. The stringcigar model is a smooth generalization of the GS model that undergoes a Ricci geometrical flow. We find a new massless mode in both models satisfying the respective Schrodinger equations. By means of a numerical analysis, we obtain the complete graviton spectrum and its respective eigenfunctions. The KK spectrum exhibits the usual linear regime for large discrete index n and we find a new decreasing regime for small n. Moreover, there is an asymmetric mass gap between the massless mode and the massive KK tower. The mass gap in the GS model is bigger than in the string-cigar model. In addition, the mass gap remains invariant upon the geometrical flow. It turns out that in the string-cigar model the brane structure smoothes and amplifies the KK modes near the brane core. The presence of a potential well in the string-cigar scenario allows the existence of resonant massive gravitons for small masses.
We propose here a static and axisymmetric braneworld in six dimensions as a string-like model extension. For a subtle warp function, this scenario provides near brane corrections. By varying the bulk cosmological constant, we obtain a source which passes through different phases. The solution is defined both for the interior as for the exterior of the string and satisfies the weak energy condition. Smooth gravitational massless mode is localized on the brane which core is displaced from the origin. In contrast to the thin string model, the massive solutions have high amplitude near the brane. By means of an analogue quantum potential analysis, we show that s−waves gravitational Kaluza-Klein modes are permissible as resonant states.
