Phenomenology on a Slice of AdS{sub 5} x {Mu}{sup {delta}} Spacetime
We study the phenomenology resulting from backgrounds of the form AdS{sub 5} x {Mu}{sup {delta}}, where {Mu}{sup {delta}} denotes a generic manifold of dimension {delta} {ge} 1, and AdS{sub 5} is the slice of 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter space which generates the hierarchy in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model. The {delta} additional dimensions may be required when the RS model is embedded into a more fundamental theory. We analyze two classes of {delta}-dimensional manifolds: flat and curved geometries. In the first case, the additional flat dimensions may accommodate localized fermions which in turn could resolve issues, such as proton decay and flavor, that were not addressed in the original RS proposal. In the latter case, the positive curvature of an S{sup {delta}} manifold with {delta} > 1 can geometrically provide the 5-dimensional warping of the RS model. We demonstrate the key features of these two classes of models by presenting the background solutions, the spectra of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons, and their 4-dimensional couplings, for the sample manifolds S{sup 1}/Z{sub 2}, S{sup 1}, and S{sup 2}. The resulting phenomenology is distinct from that of the original RS scenario due to the appearance of a multitude of new KK graviton states at the weak scale with couplings that are predicted to be measurably non-universal within the KK tower. In addition, in the case of flat compactifications, fermion localization can result in KK graviton and gauge field flavor changing interactions.
