Mass Hierarchy from Many Domain Walls

TL;DR

This paper introduces a five-dimensional model with multiple domain walls that naturally generates an exponential mass hierarchy, connecting hidden sectors and our universe through gravitational interactions.

Contribution

The model uniquely incorporates many domain walls and hidden sectors, providing a new framework for understanding mass hierarchy and multi-universe cosmology.

Findings

Only even numbers of domain walls are allowed in the model.

The validity of the Randall-Sundrum scenario depends on the relation between our world and hidden worlds.

The model demonstrates a mechanism for exponential mass hierarchy in a multi-brane setup.

Abstract

We construct a new model with exponential mass hierarchy by starting with the Einstein-Hilbert action with the cosmological constant in five dimensions plus an action describing many domain walls in four dimensions. The model includes many hidden sectors and one visible sector, and each four-dimensional domain wall, that is, 3-brane, interacts with one another through only a gravitational interaction and realizes many universe cosmology inspired by D-brane perspective. It is shown that in the present model only even numbers of domain walls are allowed to locate in five dimensional space-time and the validity of Randall-Sundrum scenario, which explains mass hierarchy between the Planck mass and the electro-weak scale in our world, depends on a relative relation between our world and hidden worlds.
