Thick Braneworlds and the Gibbons-Kallosh-Linde No-go Theorem in the Gauss-Bonnet Framework

Abstract

The sum rules related to thick braneworlds are constructed, in order to encompass Gauss-Bonnet terms. The generation of thick branes is hence proposed in a periodic extra dimension scenario, what circumvents the Gibbons-Kallosh-Linde no-go theorem in this context.
