Spinor walls in five-dimensional warped spacetime

We study domain wall solutions of a real spinor field coupling with gravitation in five dimensions. We find that the nonlinear spinor field supports a class of soliton configurations which could be viewed as a wall embedded in five dimensions. We begin with an illuminating solution of the spinor field in the absence of gravitation. In a further investigation, we exhibit three sets of solutions of the spinor field with nonconstant curvature bulk spacetimes and three sets of solutions corresponding to three constant curvature bulk spacetimes. We demonstrate that some of these solutions in specific conditions have the energy density distributions of domain walls for the spinor field, where the scalar curvature is regular everywhere. Therefore, the configurations of these walls can be interpreted as spinor walls which are interesting spinor field realizations of domain walls. In order to investigate the stability of these spinor configurations, the linear perturbations are considered. The localization of the zero mode of tensor perturbation is also discussed.

Kalb–Ramond field localization on the Bloch brane

This work deals with new results on the Kalb-Ramond (KR) field localization in braneworld models. We consider a five-dimensional warped spacetime with an embedded 4D thick brane which is generated by two real scalar fields coupled with gravity (the so called Bloch brane). We find a KR field zero mode localized with the inclusion of the dilaton coupling. Analyzing the massive spectrum, we detected a series of resonant modes that arise from the solutions of the Schr\"odinger-like equation for KR field. The effects of the brane thickness and of the dilaton coupling over the resonance structures are determined. Such analysis is extended to the resonance lifetimes of the massive modes, allowing a better understanding on the localization mechanism of the model.
