Localizing gravity on a stringlike defect in six dimensions

T Gherghetta, M Shaposhnikov - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
We present a metric solution in six dimensions, where gravity is localized on a four-
dimensional singular stringlike defect. The corrections to four-dimensional gravity from the …

Warped compactification on Abelian vortex in six dimensions

M Giovannini, H Meyer, M Shaposhnikov - Nuclear Physics B, 2001 - Elsevier
We consider the possibility of localizing gravity on a Nielsen–Olesen vortex in the context of
the Abelian Higgs model. The vortex lives in a six-dimensional space–time with negative …

Cosmic strings in gravity

T Harko, MJ Lake - The European Physical Journal C, 2015 - Springer
We consider Kasner-type static, cylindrically symmetric interior string solutions in the f\left (R,
L_m\right) f R, L m theory of modified gravity. The physical properties of the string are …

Abelian–Higgs strings in Rastall gravity

ERB de Mello, JC Fabris… - Classical and Quantum …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we analyze Abelian–Higgs strings in a phenomenological model that takes
quantum effects in curved space–time into account. This model, first introduced by Rastall …

Cosmic strings in generalized hybrid metric-Palatini gravity

HMR da Silva, T Harko, FSN Lobo, JL Rosa - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We consider the possible existence of gravitationally bound stringlike objects, and
approximation of local U (1) Abelian-Higgs strings, in the framework of the generalized …

Fermionic Kaluza-Klein modes in the string-cigar braneworld

DM Dantas, DFS Veras, JEG Silva, CAS Almeida - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We study the spin 1/2 and spin 3/2 fermion fields in a thick braneworld scenario in six
dimensions called string-cigar model. This smooth stringlike model has a source that …

Cosmic stringlike objects in hybrid metric-Palatini gravity

T Harko, FSN Lobo, HMR da Silva - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We consider static and cylindrically symmetric interior string-type solutions in the scalar-
tensor representation of the hybrid metric-Palatini modified theory of gravity. As a first step in …

Bose-Einstein condensate strings

T Harko, MJ Lake - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We consider the possible existence of gravitationally bound general relativistic strings
consisting of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) matter which is described, in the Newtonian …

Gravity localization in a string-cigar braneworld

JEG Silva, V Santos, CAS Almeida - Classical and Quantum …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We proposed a six-dimensional string-like braneworld built from a warped product between
a 3-brane and the Hamilton cigar soliton space, the string-cigar braneworld. This transverse …

Vacuum polarization of a charged massless scalar field on cosmic string spacetime in the presence of a magnetic field

J Spinelly, ERB de Mello - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we consider a charged massless scalar quantum field operator in the
spacetime of an idealized cosmic string, ie, an infinitely long, straight and static cosmic …
