Gauge field localization in branes: coupling to a scalar function and coupling to torsion in teleparallel gravity scenario

Abstract

This paper is aimed at investigating the behavior of gauge vector and tensor fields on thick brane in f(T) gravity. This thick brane is not capable of providing a normalizable zero mode for both gauge and Kalb Ramond fields. To overcome this problem, we propose two distinct types of gauge-invariant couplings. In the first coupling, the fields are minimally coupled to the scalar field responsible for generating the thick brane. In the second coupling, we use the geometric coupling in which the fields are non-minimally coupled to torsion. Another issue that we investigate is resonant modes, which allow us to understand the massive spectrum of fields. Indeed we note that an internal structure appears for the Kalb–Ramond massive solutions and both couplings show resonant modes of the massive spectrum.

Constraints on extra dimensions theories from gravitational quantum barrier experiments

“…It is also noteworthy that the scenario of thick branes represents an active area of research, in which numerous brane characteristics have been investigated [31][32][33][34][35][36]. Thus, the study of thick brane models has an intrinsic value, and it is interesting to put experimental constraints on these models.…”
