AbstractWe study a spin 1/2 fermion in a thick braneworld in the context of teleparallel f(T, B) gravity. Here, f(T, B) is such that $$f_1(T,B)=T+k_1B^{n_1}$$ f 1 ( T , B ) = T + k 1 B n 1 and $$f_2(T,B)=B+k_2T^{n_2}$$ f 2 ( T , B ) = B + k 2 T n 2 , where $$n_{1,2}$$ n 1 , 2 and $$k_{1,2}$$ k 1 , 2 are parameters that control the influence of torsion and the boundary term. We assume Yukawa coupling, where one scalar field is coupled to a Dirac spinor field. We show how the $$n_{1,2}$$ n 1 , 2 and $$k_{1,2}$$ k 1 , 2 parameters control the width of the massless Kaluza–Klein mode, the breadth of non-normalized massive fermionic modes and the properties of the analogue quantum-potential near the origin.

We study localization of various matter fields on a non-Z2-symmetric scalar thick brane in a pure geometric Weyl integrable manifold in which variations in the length of vectors during parallel transport are allowed and a geometric scalar field is involved in its formulation. It is shown that, for spin 0 scalar field, the massless zero mode can be normalized on the brane. Spin 1 vector field cannot be normalized on the brane. And there is no spinor field which can be trapped on the brane for the case of no Yukawa-type coupling. By introducing the appropriate Yukawa coupling, the left or right chiral fermionic zero mode can be localized on the brane.

We study fermion localization and resonances on a special type of brane-world model supporting brane splitting. In such models one can construct multiwall branes which cause considerable simplification in the field equations. We use a polynomial superpotential to construct this brane. The suitable Yukawa coupling between the background scalar field and the localized fermion is determined. The massive fermion resonance spectrum is obtained. The number of resonances is increased for higher values of Yukawa coupling.

In this paper, by using the Yukawa coupling mechanism, we consider the fermion localization in two types of braneworld models driven by real scalar fields with non-standard dynamics. Because of the existing freedom in the form of the Yukawa coupling, we consider two coupling forms between the background scalar field and spinors where one is arising from the geometry shape of the warp factor and the other is a function of the background scalar field containing a derivative scalar-fermion coupling. With two coupling functions, it is shown that the massless zero mode of fermion fields is localized on both branes with generalized dynamic depending on the values of the coupling constants. However, there is no localized mode when the Yukawa coupling only contains a derivative term of the background scalar field. Furthermore, effects of the parameters of the models on the zero mode and fermion effective potential are addressed.

We show that the Einstein–Hilbert, the Einstein–Palatini, and the Holst actions can be derived from the Quadratic Spinor Lagrangian (QSL), when the three classes of Dirac spinor fields, under Lounesto spinor field classification, are considered. To each one of these classes, there corresponds an unique kind of action for a covariant gravity theory. In other words, it is shown to exist a one-to-one correspondence between the three classes of non-equivalent solutions of the Dirac equation, and Einstein–Hilbert, Einstein–Palatini, and Holst actions. Furthermore, it arises naturally, from Lounesto spinor field classification, that any other class of spinor field — Weyl, Majorana, flagpole, or flag-dipole spinor fields — yields a trivial (zero) QSL, up to a boundary term. To investigate this boundary term, we do not impose any constraint on the Dirac spinor field, and consequently we obtain new terms in the boundary component of the QSL. In the particular case of a teleparallel connection, an axial torsion one-form current density is obtained. New terms are also obtained in the corresponding Hamiltonian formalism. We then discuss how these new terms could shed new light on more general investigations.

Asymptotically Euclidean regions connected by a wormhole may differ by their associated gauge coupling constants. This idea is realized in a field-theoretical manner using a conformally coupled scalar field in five dimensions. An SO (4) × U (1) e.m. -symmetric configuration is derived, describing a Kaluza–Klein bottle coupled to a Tolman–Hawking wormhole.

This chapter provides constructions of Lagrangians for various field models and discusses the basic properties of these models. Concrete examples of field models are constructed, including real and complex scalar field models, the sigma model, spinor field models and models of massless and massive free vector fields. In addition, the chapter discusses various interactions between fields, including the interactions of scalars and spinors with the electromagnetic field. A detailed discussion of the Yang-Mills field is given as well.

We study restrictions imposed on the parameters of the Kaluza–Klein extra space supplied by the standard inflationary models. It is shown that the size of the extra space cannot be larger than [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm and the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Planck mass should be larger than [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]GeV. The validity of these estimates is discussed. We also study creation of stable excitations of scalar field as the result of the extra metric evolution.

We recall the motivation for an external scalar field, [Formula: see text], and show how it helps to improve the 5D Kaluza-Klein theory. Various applications of the theory that fit observational or experimental data in the laboratory as well as in the cosmological or astrophysical contexts are mentioned. Special attention is given to the last version of the experiment showing evidence of a torque on a torsion pendulum as predicted by the theory. New arguments that motivate extradimensions are put forward.

The Casimir energy for a massless, neutral scalar field in presence of a point interaction is analyzed using a general zeta-regularization approach developed in earlier works. In addition to a regular bulk contribution, there arises an anomalous boundary term which is infinite despite renormalization. The intrinsic nature of this anomaly is briefly discussed.
