Tensor perturbations of Palatini $f(\mathcal{R})$-branes

Abstract

We investigate the thick brane model in Palatini $f(\mathcal{R})$ gravity. The brane is generated by a real scalar field with a scalar potential. We solve the system analytically and obtain a series of thick brane solutions for the $f(\mathcal{R})=\mathcal{R}+\alpha {\mathcal{R}}^2$-brane model. It is shown that tensor perturbations of the metric are stable for $df(\mathcal{R})/d\mathcal{R}>0$. For nonconstant curvature solutions, the graviton zero mode can be localized on the brane, which indicates that the four-dimensional gravity can be recovered on the brane. Mass spectrum of graviton KK modes and their corrections to the Newtonian potential are also discussed.
