Non-minimal coupling of fermion to the torsion in the modified teleparallel braneworld
arXiv:2110.02394 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2022.168912
Abstract
We study a spin 1/2 fermion in a teleparallel f(T) domain-wall thick braneworld. By assuming a non-minimal coupling of fermion to the torsion, a geometric alternative to the Yukawa coupling is found. The torsion parameters control the width of the massless Kaluza-Klein mode and the properties of the analogue quantum-potential near the origin. The non-normalized massive fermionic modes are also analyzed.
