Randall-Sundrum scenario, higher derivatives, and stability

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: We demonstrate the classical stability of the weak or Planck hierarchy within the Randall-Sundrum scenario, incorporating the Goldberger-Wise, mechanism and higher-derivative interactions in a systematic perturbative expansion. Such higher-derivative interactions are expected if the RS model is the low-energy description of some more fundamental theory. Generically, higher derivatives lead to ill-defined singularities in the vicinity of effective field theory branes. These are carefully treated by the methods of classical renormalization.
