6 Extra dims and naturalness How can extra dimensions help? scalars in 4D need not be scalars in higher D eg f could arise as a component of A m or g mn
7 Extra dims and naturalness How can extra dimensions help? scalars in 4D need not be scalars in higher D lowering the gravity scale helps by lowering the UV scales to which one can be sensitive δm 2 = Λ4 M 4 2
8 Extra dims and naturalness Cod-1 backreaction scalars in 4D need (warping) not be scalars in Worked higher D out in makes low E detail for lowering the gravity physics scale local helps by lowering codimension-1 the UV scales to which in extra one can dims be sensitive How can extra dimensions help? back-reaction can be important for low energies (eg Randall-Sundrum models)
9 Higher-codimension back-reaction Why are higher codimensions harder? In d space dims massless fields vary as r 2-d and so tend to diverge at the source positions for d > 1
10 Higher-codimension back-reaction Why are higher codimensions harder? In d space dims massless fields vary as r 2-d and so tend to diverge at the source positions for d > 1 How is this dealt with? Source action dictates near-source boundary conditions
11 Higher-codimension back-reaction Why are higher codimensions harder? In d space dims massless fields vary as r d-2 and so tend to diverge at the source positions for d > 1 How is this dealt with? Source action dictates near-source boundary conditions E da Q

Source action dictates near-source boundary conditions r d 1 φ Peloso, Sorbo & Tasinato CB, Hoover, de Rham & Tasinato r S φ.and similarly for g mn etc
13 Codimension-2 back-reaction eg: for scalar-tensor theories CB, Hoover, de Rham & Tasinato given the action: if S = 1 2κ 2 g R + φ 2 + V(φ) + S b and ds 2 = e 2W g μν dx μ dx ν + dr 2 + e 2B dθ 2 with S b = g L b
14 Codimension-2 back-reaction Then the matching conditions are CB, Hoover, de Rham & Tasinato
15 Higher-codimension back-reaction Important complication Goldberger & Wise de Rham Divergences due to fields diverging at branes absorbed into renormalization of brane interactions
16 Higher-codimension back-reaction Important complication Divergences due to fields diverging at branes absorbed into renormalization of brane interactions A convenient regularization Codimension-1 cylinder with smooth interior
17 Higher-codimension back-reaction Baytun, CB & van Nierop Important complication Divergences due to fields diverging at branes absorbed into renormalization of brane interactions A convenient regularization Codimension-1 cylinder with smooth interior Matching rules are robust Can use any brane regularization at all to capture lowest multipole moment
18 Higher-codimension back-reaction Important complication Divergences due to fields diverging at branes absorbed into renormalization of brane interactions A convenient regularization Codimension-1 cylinder with smooth interior Matching rules are robust Baytun, CB & van Nierop Green, Shapere, Vafa & Yau Check: the result works well for D7s sourcing axio-dilaton and gravity in 10D Type IIB sugra Can use any brane regularization at all to capture lowest multipole moment

21 Back-reaction vs de Sitter no-go Few honest-to-god extra dimensional inflationary cosmologies exist work in 4D effective theory Maldacena & Nunez; Wesley & Steinhardt work with moving branes in static backgrounds Lower-dimensional ds solutions in higher dimensions difficult to find Motivated no-go results for de Sitter solutions
22 Back-reaction vs de Sitter no-go de Sitter solutions and no-go results: Few honest-to-god extra dimensional cosmologies exist 1 if S = g R + L work in 4D 2κeffective 2 theory m + S source CB, Maharana, van Nierop, Nizami & Quevedo work with moving branes in static backgrounds and ds 2 = e 2W g μν dx μ dx ν + g mn dx m dx n What do extra dimensions do during inflation? Explicit then in absence example of from space-filling 6D supergravity fluxes with cod-2 sources 1 R = S 2κ 2 on shell + 2 e dw ds + g source μν dg μν
23 Back-reaction vs de Sitter no-go This term often vanishes de Sitter solutions and no-go results: Few honest-to-god extra dimensional cosmologies exist This 1 term has definite (AdS) sign if S = g R + L work in 4D 2κeffective 2 theory m + S source This term is often omitted work with moving branes in static backgrounds and ds 2 = e 2W g μν dx μ dx ν + dr 2 + e 2B dθ 2 What do extra dimensions do during inflation? Explicit then example from 6D supergravity with cod-2 sources 1 R = S 2κ 2 on shell + 2 e dw ds + g source μν dg μν
24 Back-reaction vs de Sitter no-go Source-brane matching conditions imply these de Sitter solutions and no-go results: terms exactly cancel one another for codim-2 Few honest-to-god extra dimensional cosmologies sources exist 1 if S = g R + L work in 4D 2κeffective 2 theory m + S source CB, Maharana, van Nierop, Nizami & Quevedo work with moving branes in static backgrounds and ds 2 = e 2W g μν dx μ dx ν + dr 2 + e 2B dθ 2 What do extra dimensions do during inflation?

25 Back-reaction vs de Sitter no-go Source-brane matching conditions imply these de Sitter solutions and no-go results: terms exactly cancel one another for codim-2 Few honest-to-god extra dimensional cosmologies sources exist 1 Aghababaie et al if S = g R + L work in 4D 2κeffective 2 theory m + S source This term is generically a total derivative for work with moving branes in static backgrounds and higher-dim ds 2 = esupergravities: 2W g μν dx μ dx ν S+ dr 2 + e 2B dθ 2 on shell = dω What do extra dimensions do during inflation? Explicit then example from 6D supergravity with cod-2 sources 1 R = S 2κ 2 on shell + 2 e dw ds + g source μν dg μν
26 Motivation This de can Source-brane Sitter have matching conditions imply these solutions de Sitter and sign no-go results: terms exactly cancel one another for codim-2 Few honest-to-god extra dimensional cosmologies sources exist For example, this 1 is a reason why if S = g R + L work in 4D 2κeffective 2 theory m + S the de Sitter compactifications of source 6D work sugra This with evade term is moving the generically no-go branes theorems a total derivative for in static backgrounds and higher-dim ds 2 = esupergravities: 2W g μν dx μ dx ν S+ dr 2 + e 2B dθ 2 on shell = dω What do extra dimensions do during inflation?

27 Motivation Because Source-brane de Sitter it is matching conditions imply these solutions a total derivative and no-go results: terms exactly cancel one another for codim-2 does Few not honest-to-god depend most extra of the dimensional cosmologies sources exist details of back-reacted 1 solutions. if S = g R + L work in 4D 2κeffective 2 theory m + S source This term is generically a total derivative for work with moving branes in static backgrounds and higher-dim ds 2 = esupergravities: 2W g μν dx μ dx ν S+ dr 2 + e 2B dθ 2 on shell = dω What do extra dimensions do during inflation?

30 Higher-dimensional inflation What about time-dependent solutions? Must generalize brane matching conditions to case where on-brane geometry is not maximally symmetric Wish to solve higher-dimensional field equations exactly, including energetics of modulus stabilization For supersymmetric systems exact timedependent scaling solutions are known Can these be matched to sensible brane physics to see how brane properties control bulk fields?
31 Higher-dimensional inflation Nishino & Sezgin 6D Einstein-Maxwell-scalar system L = 1 2κ 2 R + φ 2 + e φ F mn F mn + Ce φ ds sign Brane-localized inflaton, c L b1 = T 1 + e φ χ 2 +V 1 e λχ + L b2 = T 2

34 Higher-dimensional inflation Tolley, CB, de Rham Exact time-dependent solution e φ = H 0 τ c+2 e φ(r) ds 2 = H 0 τ c g mn dx m dx n + τ 2 g ij dx i dx j FRW time in 4D Einstein frame dt = H 0 τ c+1 dτ If c -2 then a(t) = (H 0 t) p and r(t) = (H 0 t) 1/2 with p = (c + 1)/(c + 2) accelerated expansion if p > 1 and so c < -2
35 Higher-dimensional inflation Source-bulk matching: how does it end? Add inflaton c evolution to the equations L b = T + e φ χ 2 +V 0 + V 1 e λχ + χ = χ 0 + χ 1 ln H 0 τ CB & van Nierop Then c +2 = λχ 1 controls the slow roll and H 0 2 = λv 1 / χ λχ 1

41 A puzzle For 6D flux-stabilized supergravity we have 1 2κ 2 R = S on shell = 1 2κ 2 2 φ δs b δφ and so R = 0 if no branes couple to 6D dilaton f Seems to imply geometry should be robustly flat, regardless of on-brane loops and perturbations This is superficially inconsistent with known perturbations of these geometries
