Classification of 5-dimensional space-time with parallel 3-branes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: If the fifth dimension is one-dimensional connected manifold, up to diffeomorphic, the only possible space-time will be M4imesR1, M4imesR1/Z2, M4imesS1 and M4imesS1/Z2. And there exist two possibilities on cosmology constant along the fifth dimension: the cosmology constant is constant, and the cosmology constant is sectional constant. We construct the general models with parallel 3-branes and with constant/sectional constant cosmology constant along the fifth dimension on those kinds of the space-time, and point out that for compact fifth dimension, the sum of the brane tensions is zero, for non-compact fifth dimension, the sum of the brane tensions is positive. We assume the observable brane which includes our world should have positive tension, and obtain that the gauge hierarchy problem can be solved in those scenarios. We also discuss some simple models.
