Abstract
We propose a mechanism ensuring (quasi)localization of massless gauge fields on a brane. The mechanism does not rely on BPS properties of the brane and can be realized in any theory where charged particles are confined to the world-volume. The localized matter fluctuations induce a gauge kinetic term on the brane. At short distances the resulting propagator for the gauge field is {\it identical} to the four-dimensional propagator. The gauge theory on the brane is effectively four-dimensional at short distances; it becomes higher-dimensional on very large (cosmic) scales. The brane-bulk system exhibits the phenomenon of “infrared transparency”. As a result, only very low frequency modes can escape into extra dimensions. In this framework the large wavelength cosmic radiation can dissipate in extra space at a rate that may be observable, in principle. We briefly discuss some astrophysical consequences of this scenario. The same mechanism of localization of gauge fields may work in Kaplan's framework for domain wall chiral fermions on lattices.

Taking again the estimate of [ref] , namely $r^* ≥10^15$ cm, and the QED scale valid up to at least $10^-16$cm, this gives upper bound to the wall's thickness of r_c ≪10^-47 cm This result seems to invalidate the DGS proposal to localize gauge fields on thick walls in a flat spacetime, at least in this particular case $λ=√(β)$.

Another interesting approach is the proposal of Dvali, Gabadadze and Shifman (DGS) [ref] , where the addition of a brane localized kinetic term to the conventional five dimensional gauge field action results in a gauge field propagator that provides, below a critical distance, the correct four-dimensional electromagnetic potential (see Ref. [ref] for the gravitational analogue).
