It has been shown in the last few years that 3-form fields present viable cosmological solutions for inflation and dark energy with particular observable signatures distinct from those of canonical single scalar field inflation. The aim of this work is to explore the dynamics of a single 3-form in five dimensional Randall-Sundrum II braneworld scenario, in which a 3-form is confined to the brane and only gravity propagates in the bulk. We compare the solutions with the standard four dimensional case already studied in the literature. In particular, we evaluate how the spectral index and the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations are influenced by the presence of the bulk and put constraints on the parameters of the models in the light of the recent Planck 2015 data.

We investigate cosmic-ray antiprotons emitted from the galactic primordial black holes in the Randall-Sundrum type-2 braneworld. The recent results of the BESS antiproton observation implies the existence of exotic primary sub-GeV antiprotons, one of whose most probable origin is PBHs in Our Galaxy. We show that the magnitude of antiproton flux from PBHs in the RS braneworld is proportional to negative power of the AdS radius, and immediately find that a large extra-dimension can relax upper-limits on the abundance of the Galactic PBHs. If actually there are more PBHs than the known upper-limit obtained in the pure 4D case, they set a lower bound on the size of the extra dimension above at least 10^{20} times 4D Planck-length to avoid inconsistency. On completion of the numerical studies, we show that these constraints on the AdS radius is comparable to those obtained from the diffuse photon background by some of the authors in the previous paper. Moreover, in the low accretion-rate case, only antiprotons can constrain the braneworld. We show that we will detect signatures of the braneworld as a difference between the flux of the antiprotons predicted in 4D and 5D by future observations in sub-GeV region with a few percent precision.
We propose a simple and predictive model of fermion masses and mixing in a warped extra dimension, with the smallest discrete non-Abelian group $S_{3}$ and the discrete symmetries $Z_{2}otimes Z_{4}$. Standard Model fields propagate in the bulk and t he mass hierarchies and mixing angles are accounted for the fermion zero modes localization profiles, similarly to the the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model. To the best of our knowledge, this model is the first implementation of an $S_{3}$ flavor symmetry in this type of warped extra dimension framework. Our model successfully describes the fermion masses and mixing pattern and is consistent with the current low energy fermion flavor data. The discrete flavor symmetry in our model leads to predictive mixing inspired textures, where the Cabbibo mixing arises from the down type quark sector whereas up type quark sector contributes to the remaining mixing angles.
We derive the low-energy effective theory of gravity for a generalized Randall-Sundrum scenario, allowing for a third self-gravitating brane to live in the 5D bulk spacetime. At zero order the 5D spacetime is composed of two slices of anti-de Sitter spacetime, each with a different curvature scale, and the 5D Weyl tensor vanishes. Two boundary branes are at the fixed points of the orbifold whereas the third brane is free to move in the bulk. At first order, the third brane breaks the otherwise continuous evolution of the projection of the Weyl tensor normal to the branes. We derive a junction condition for the projected Weyl tensor across the bulk brane, and combining this constraint with the junction condition for the extrinsic curvature tensor, allows us to derive the first-order field equations on the middle brane. The effective theory is a generalized Brans-Dicke theory with two scalar fields. This is conformally equivalent to Einstein gravity and two scalar fields, minimally coupled to the geometry, but nonminimally coupled to matter on the three branes.
Randall Sundrum models provide a possible explanation of (gauge-gravity) hierarchy, whereas discrete symmetry flavor groups yield a possible description of the texture of Standard Model fermion masses. We use both these ingredients to propose a five- dimensional extension of the Standard Model where the mass hierarchy of the four-dimensional effective field theory is obtained only using localizations parameters of order 1. We consider a bulk custodial gauge symmetry group together with an Abelian $Z_4$ group: the model turns out to yield a rather minimal extension of the SM as it only requires two brane Higgs fields to provide the desired Yukawa interactions and the required spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern. In fact, the presence of an extra-dimension allows the use of the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism to contribute to the breaking of the bulk custodial group down to the SM gauge symmetry. Moreover, no right-handed neutrinos are present and neutrino masses are generated radiatively with the help of a bulk charged scalar field that provides the Lepton-number violation. Using experimental inputs from the Global Neutrino Analysis and recent Daya Bay results, a numerical analysis is performed and allowed parameter regions are displayed.
A detailed phenomenological analysis of neutral kaon mixing in little Randall-Sundrum models is presented. It is shown that the constraints arising from the CP-violating quantity epsilon_K can, depending on the value of the ultra-violet cutoff, be ev en stronger than in the original Randall-Sundrum scenario addressing the hierarchy problem up to the Planck scale. The origin of the enhancement is explained, and a bound Lambda_{UV}>several 10^3 TeV is derived, below which vast corrections to epsilon_K are generically unavoidable. Implications for non-standard Z->bb couplings are briefly discussed.
