Does a Randall-Sundrum scenario create the illusion of a torsion-free universe? (English) Zbl 1267.83098
Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, No. 12, Article ID 121101, 4 p. (2002); erratum ibid. 89, No. 25, Article ID 259902, 1 p. (2002).
Summary: We consider spacetime with torsion in a Randall-Sundrum scenario where torsion, identified with the rank-2 Kalb-Ramond field, exists in the bulk together with gravity. While the interactions of both graviton and torsion in the bulk are controlled by the Planck mass, an additional exponential suppression comes for the torsion zero-mode on the visible brane. This may serve as a natural explanation of why the effect of torsion is so much weaker than that of curvature on the brane. The massive torsion modes, on the other hand, are correlated with the corresponding gravitonic modes and may be detectable in TeV-scale experiments.
