Matter and Gravity in Warped Extradimensional Models: Reinterpreting Randall-Sundrum
Katherine Benson
Warped extra dimension claims remarkable success: solving the hierarchy problem; explaining hierarchies in particle phenomenology; yielding standard cosmology, plus interesting non…
On Hierarchy, Charge Universality, and 4D Effective Theory in Randall-Sundrum Models
Katherine Benson
We present a variant formulation of the Randall-Sundrum model which solves both the hierarchy and charge universality problems. We first critique the rationale for hierarchy soluti…
Topologically Alice Strings and Monopoles
Katherine M. Benson, Tom Imbo
Symmetry breaking can produce ``Alice'' strings, which alter scattered charges and carry monopole number and charge when twisted into loops. Alice behavior arises algebraically, wh…
Twisted Alice Loops as Monopoles
Katherine Benson, Tom Imbo
Symmetry breaking can produce ``Alice'' strings, which alter scattered charges and carry monopole number and charge when twisted into loops. We apply recent topological results, fi…
A Topological Criterion for Alice Strings
Katherine Benson, Tom Imbo
Symmetry breaking can produce ``Alice'' strings, which alter scattered charges and carry monopole number and charge when twisted into loops. Alice behavior arises algebraically, wh…
A universe in a global monopole
Katherine Benson, Inyong Cho
We investigate brane physics in a universe with an extra dimensional global monopole and negative bulk cosmological constant. The graviton zero mode is naturally divergent; we thus…
