Bosonic Fields in the String-like Defect Model

Abstract

We study localization of bosonic bulk fields on a string-like defect with codimension 2 in a general space-time dimension in detail. We show that in cases of spin 0 scalar and spin 1 vector fields there are an infinite number of massless Kaluza-Klein (KK) states which are degenerate with respect to the radial quantum number, but only the massless zero mode state among them is coupled to fermion on the string-like defect. It is also commented on interesting extensions of the model at hand to various directions such as 'little' superstring theory, conformal field theory and a supersymmetric construction.
