Scalar field localization on deformed extra space

Abstract

Field localization on 2-dim extra space is considered in the framework of f(R) gravity. It is shown that an interference of local matter energy distribution and a metric of the extra space form a point-like defect - 4-dim brane. The energy-momentum of the brane depends on initial conditions that could lead to the cosmological $\Lambda$ term being arbitrarily small.
