Thick brane in f(T,B) gravity
arXiv:2101.10054 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.064046
Abstract
In this paper, we explore the five-dimensional f(T,B) teleparallel modified gravity with f_1(T,B)=T+k_1B^{n_1} and f_2(T,B)=B+k_2T^{n_2} in the brane scenario. Asymptotically, the bulk geometry converges to an AdS_5 spacetime whose cosmological constant is produced by parameters that control torsion and boundary term. The analysis of the energy density condition reveals a splitting brane process satisfying the weak and strong energy conditions for some values of the parameters n_{1,2} and k_{1,2}. In addition, we investigate the behavior of the gravitational perturbations in this scenario. In the bulk, the torsion keeps a gapless non-localizable, and stable tower of massive modes. Inside the brane core, the torsion produces new barriers and potential wells, leading to small amplitude massive modes and a massless mode localized for some values of the parameters n_{1,2} and k_{1,2}.
