Scalar and tensor gauge field localization on deformed thick branes

TL;DR

This paper investigates how deforming a scalar potential influences the localization of scalar and gauge fields on a thick brane in a five-dimensional AdS space, revealing new insights into defect structures and field trapping.

Contribution

It introduces a novel class of deformed defect solutions and analyzes their impact on the localization mechanisms of scalar and Kalb-Ramond gauge fields.

Findings

Deformation affects the localization properties of fields.

New defect solutions with internal structures are identified.

Implications for space-time curvature and field confinement are discussed.

Abstract

We make an analysis about several aspects of localization of a scalar field and a Kalb-Ramond gauge field in a specific four dimensional AdS membrane embedded in a five dimensional space-time. The membrane is generated from a deformation of the $\lambda \phi^4$ potential and belongs to a new class of defect solutions. The study of deformed defects is important because they contain internal structures and these may have implications to the way the background space-time is constructed and the way its curvature behaves. The main objective is to observe the contributions of the deformation procedure to the well known field localization methods.
