Effective action of theories with compact extra dimensions

Where:

L(

) - bulk field, - bulk Lagrangian of the field

= +, -, … , -) - background metric in the bulk, L (SM-

) - Lagrangian of the Standard Model fields, which do not propagate in the bulk J SM*

- scalar product of the corresponding current of the Standard Model fields J SM field

on the brane, g - four-dimensional coupling constant, and the M - fundamental energy scale of the (4+d)-dimensional theory defined by the gravitational interaction, An important point is that the induced metric on the brane is flat, i.e. the coordinates {x μ } are Galilean on the brane

It is a common knowledge that the bulk field can be expanded in Kaluza-Klein modes with definite masses in the space of extra dimension

(n) (y) .

(n) (x) and their wave functions Substituting this representation into action and integrating over the coordinates of extra dimensions, we get the reduced four-dimensional action где L int (

(m) ) stands for the self-interaction Lagrangian of the modes, { y b } denotes the coordinates of the brane in the space of extra dimensions

Effective contact interaction of KK modes with SM fields

Now if we consider the theory with action for the energy or momentum transfer much smaller, than the masses of the KK-excitations

(n) , n

,

we can pass to the effective ”low-energy” theory, which can be obtained by the standard procedure. We have to drop the momentum dependence in the propagators of the heavy modes and to integrate them out in the functional integral. The action of the resulting theory looks like: We assume that the fundamental energy scale of the (4 + d)-dimensional theory M is of the same order of magnitude, as the inverse size of extra dimensions. Then the masses of the KK excitations are proportional to this energy scale M and the wave functions are proportional to M d/2 , and the coupling constant can be represented as

Two branes.

Our world is located on the negative tension brane.

A flaw of this model is the presence of a massive scalar mode, – the radion.

Stabilization - the brane separation distance has defined value

• •

Radion mass is defined by the brane separation distance.

The weakness of the gravitational interaction is defined by the warp factor in the metric.

Effective contact interaction of KK modes with SM fields in the frame of the Stabilized Randall-Sundrum (RS1) model.

In the case, where the center of mass energy is below the threshold of the excitations production, the Lagrangian of interaction sum of KK modes with matter describes contact interactions of a current x current type.

One of the effects in searches for KK resonances below the production threshold of the first state is an enhancement of the effective coupling due to KK summation in comparison to the first mode contribution below the threshold only. For the considered case of the stabilized RS model this leads to an increase by 3.3 times in the production

Another effect: in addition to the resonance pike there is an area with a minimum due to a destructive interference between the first KK resonance and the remaining KK tower contribution. This local minimum takes place at the value of invariant mass M 1.5 m 1 .
