6D thick branes from interacting scalar fields

Abstract: A thick brane in six dimensions is constructed using two scalar fields. The field equations for 6D gravity plus the scalar fields are solved numerically. This thick brane solution shares some features with previously studied analytic solutions, but has the advantage that the energy-momentum tensor which forms the thick brane comes from the scalar fields rather than being put in by hand. Additionally the scalar fields which form the brane also provide a universal, nongravitational trapping mechanism for test fi… Show more

“…Recently, increasingly one has focussed on the study of thick brane scenarios based on gravity coupled to one or more scalars in higher-dimensional space-times [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Moreover, domain walls have been used in high-energy physics to generate thick branes in models wherein scalar fields can couple with gravity in warped spacetime.…”

“…The whole set of results obtained in works [22] for 5D and [23] for 6D cases, and also in this paper, allows us to speak about possibility in principle of localization of the scalar fields with the potential (3) on a brane in any dimensions. One has every reason to suppose that existence of similar regular solutions is possible for models with greater number of extra dimensions.…”
