Gauge field localization in branes: coupling to a scalar function and coupling to torsion in teleparallel gravity scenario

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: This paper is aimed at investigating the behavior of gauge vector and tensor fields on thick brane in f ( T ) gravity. This thick brane is not capable of providing a normalizable zero mode for both gauge and Kalb Ramond fields. To overcome this problem, we propose two distinct types of gauge-invariant couplings. In the first coupling, the fields are minimally coupled to the scalar field responsible for generating the thick brane. In the second coupling, we use the geometric coupling in which the fields are non-minimally coupled to torsion. Another issue that we investigate is resonant modes, which allow us to understand the massive spectrum of fields. Indeed we note that an internal structure appears for the Kalb–Ramond massive solutions and both couplings show resonant modes of the massive spectrum.
