Abstract:
In this talk we consider the problem of a scalar field, non-minimally coupled to gravity, in the presence of a Brane. A number of exact solutions, for a wide range of values of the coupling parameter, are presented. The behavior and general features of these solutions are discussed. We derive solutions for the scalar field compatible with the Randall-Sundrum metric and also geometries which can accomodate a folded kink-like scalar. Analytic and numerical results are provided for the case of a Brane or for smooth geometries, where the scalar field acts as a thick Brane. We also discuss briefly the graviton localization in our setup and demonstrate the characteristic volcano-like localizing potential for gravitons.- talk
