1301.2562 (G. Alencar et al.)

Bosonic Fields in Crystal Manyfolds    [PDF]

G. Alencar, R. R. Landim, M. O. Tahim, R. N. Costa Filho
A chain-like or a 1D crystal-like universe made of intersecting membranes in extra dimensions in a Randall-Sundrum scenario is studied. A background gravitational metric satisfying the right boundary conditions is considered to study the localization of the scalar, gauge and Kalb-Ramond field. It is found that the wave function for the fields are Bloch waves. The mass modes equations are calculated allowing us to show the zero-gap mass behavior and the mass dispersion relation for each field. Finally we generalize all these results and consider $q-$forms in the crystal membrane universe. We show that, depending to the dimension $D$, the form $q$ and the dilation coupling $\lambda$ the mass spectrum can be the same for the different bosonic field studied.
