abstract

A thick brane model with Gauss-Bonnet action in a homogeneous anisotropic $D=(4+1+d)$ spacetime is studied. By choosing a concrete metric ansatz, we show that this spacetime is stable against linear tensor perturbations under certain conditions. The graviton zero modes are also given. Besides, we examine a particular example in six-dimensional spacetime with a given warp factor. The coupled background scalar field and its potential are solved analytically. Furthermore, the effective potential of the Kaluza-Klein modes of the graviton is also discussed. We found that the effective potential can have singularities under certain conditions, which are related to the non-differentiability of the graviton zero modes.

Quasinormal modes of scalar perturbations in Rastall thick brane

gr-qc · 2026-07-07 · conditional · novelty 5.0

The graviscalar quasinormal mode spectrum and late-time power-law tails of a Rastall thick brane are computed numerically, showing that the Rastall parameter λ controls mode lifetimes and tail exponents.

Quasinormal modes of the thick braneworld in $f(T)$ gravity

gr-qc · 2026-04-09 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In a thick braneworld model with f(T) = T + α T², the parameter α induces brane splitting and alters the decay rates of quasinormal modes, with two numerical methods agreeing on the low-overtone spectrum.
