Teleparallel gravity: Effects of torsion in 6D braneworlds
Abstract
Braneworld models are interesting theoretical and phenomenological frameworks to search for new physics beyond the standard model of particles and cosmology. In this work, we discuss braneworld models whose gravitational dynamics is governed by teleparallel f(T) gravities. Here, we emphasize a codimension two-axisymmetric model, also known as a string-like brane. Likewise, in the 5D domain-wall models, the f(T) gravitational modification leads to a phase transition on the perfect fluid source providing a brane-splitting mechanism. Furthermore, the torsion changes the gravitational perturbations. The torsion produces new potential wells inside the brane core leading to a massless mode more localized around the ring structures. In addition, the torsion keeps a gapless nonlocalizable and a stable tower of massive modes in the bulk.
