4 1. Introduction Infinite extra dimensions: Domain wall (DW) scenario [Akama, Rubakov, Shaposhnikov, 1983] ds 2 = η µν dx µ dx ν +dy 2 Our 4D world is a DW embedded in 5D flat space-time Generated by a scalar field: φ(y) = v 0 tanh(ky) Fermions can be localized on the DW by Yukawa coupling ηφ ΨΨ Newton s law can not be recovered on the DW U(r) 1 r 2

5 1. Introduction Thin braneworld scenario [Randall and Sundrum (RS), 1999] ds 2 = e 2k y η µν dx µ dx ν +dy 2 Our 4D world is a brane embedded in a 5D space-time Fermions can be localized on brane by mass term : ηmǫ(y) ΨΨ Newton s law can be recovered( on brane: ) m U(r) = G 1 m 2 N r 1+ 1 k 2 r 2 The energy density: ρ(y) σδ(y) Warp factor 2 A Energy density Ρ y Figure: Thin brane y

6 1. Introduction Thick braneworld scenario (Domain Wall) ds 2 = e 2A(y) ĝ µν (x) dx µ dx ν +dy 2 Infinite but warped extra dimension Braneworlds are generated by scalar fields, e.g. φ(y) = v 0 tanh(ky) Fermions can be localized on the brane by Yukawa coupling ηφ ΨΨ for odd φ(y) Warp factor 2 A Energy density Ρ y y

7 1. Motivation Motivation: Are thick braneworld systems stable especially in higher-derivative gravity theories? Can Newton s law be recovered on the brane? What s the correction to Newton s law? To answer these questions, we would like to Construct thick braneworld models in various gravity theories. Study gravitational perturbations of the brane systems. Calculate the effective gravitational potential.
