In this review, we give a brief introduction on the aspects of some extra dimension models and the five-dimensional thick brane models in extended theories of gravity. First, we briefly introduce the Kaluza-Klein theory, the domain wall model, the large extra dimension model, and the warped extra dimension models. Then some thick brane solutions in extended theories of gravity are reviewed. Finally, localization of bulk matter fields on thick branes is discussed.

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

    gr-qc 2026-04 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.

  2. Particle and Superparticle Confinement in Higher Codimension Braneworlds

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Spin-curvature coupling allows stable confinement of spinning particles near or on the brane in higher-codimension warped backgrounds, unlike the repulsive behavior for spinless particles.
