This paper gives a comprehensive review on thick brane solutions and related topics. Such
models have attracted much attention from many aspects since the birth of the brane world …

The confinement of electromagnetic field is studied in axial symmetrical, warped, six-
dimensional brane world, using a recently proposed topological Abelian string-vortex …

In this work there are proposed several new 6D brane worlds based on exact topological
solutions to the vortex equations for the Abelian Higgs model, with suitable boundary …

We analyze vacuum polarization effects associated with massive scalar quantum fields in a
higher-dimensional de Sitter space in the presence of a global monopole. Because this …

In this work we consider $ q-$ form fields in a $ p-$ brane embedded in a $ D=(p+ 2) $
space-time. The membrane is generated by a domain wall in a Randall-Sundrum-like …

This paper deals with the confinement mechanism of chiral fermions evolving in a five-
dimensional spacetime, with S3× R four-dimensional slices. To construct the proper Yukawa …

We generalize the 2-codimensional quantum cosmological model with the vacuum seed
instanton to that with a non-vacuum seed instanton associated with the Gibbons–Townsend …

This thesis is essentially organized in two parts: braneworlds and higher dimensional black
objects with a cosmological constant. We present solitonic braneworld models where the …
