Bulk singularities and the effective cosmological constant for higher co-dimension branes

TL;DR: In this paper, a general configuration of parallel branes having co-dimension ≥ 2 situated inside a compact d-dimensional bulk space within the framework of a scalar and flux field coupled to gravity in D dimensions, such as arises in the bosonic part of some D-dimensional supergravities, is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

UV Caps and Modulus Stabilization for 6D Gauged Chiral Supergravity

TL;DR: In this paper, an explicit UV regularization of the brane singularities for all 4D flat configurations of 6D gauged chiral supergravity compactified on axially symmetric internal spaces is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scaling solutions to 6D gauged chiral supergravity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct explicitly time-dependent exact solutions to the field equations of six-dimensional (6D) gauged chiral supergravity, compactified to 4D in the presence of up to two three-branes situated within the extra dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effective field theories and matching for codimension-2 branes

TL;DR: This work identifies the classical matching conditions that relate the near-brane asymptotic behaviour of bulk fields to the low-energy effective actions describing how space-filling codimension-2 branes interact with the surrounding extra-dimensional bulk, and shows how these may be renormalized in a general way.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kicking the rugby ball: perturbations of 6D gauged chiral supergravity

TL;DR: The axially symmetric scalar perturbations of 6D chiral gauged supergravity compactified on the general warped geometries in the presence of two source branes were analyzed in this paper.
