Localization of spinor fields in higher-dimensional braneworlds

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper investigates the localization of fermions in six or higher-dimensional braneworld models. We study the relationship between higher-dimensional fermions and four-dimensional ones in general braneworld models, and give some common calculations. In a conformally flat extra-dimensional spacetime, fermions cannot be localized through minimal coupling with gravity. Therefore, we propose using a coupling mechanism with to preserve Lorentz symmetry and decouple the components of higher-dimensional spinors to obtain a four-dimensional effective free field theory. For the manifold with a topology of mathcalM4imesmathcalR2, the minimal coupling between fermions and gravity will distinguish left and right chiralities, while a reasonable localization mechanism is still needed to realize a four-dimensional chiral theory.
