Quantum Fluctuations for de Sitter Branes in Bulk AdS5

Abstract:

The vacuum expectation value of the square of the field fluctuations of a scalar field on a background consisting of two de Sitter branes embedded in an anti-de Sitter bulk is considered. We apply a dimensional reduction to obtain an effective lower dimensional de Sitter space equation of motion with associated Kaluza-Klein masses and canonical commutation relations. The case of a scalar field obeying a restricted class of mass and curvature couplings, including massless, conformal coupling as a special case, is considered. We find that the local behaviour of the quantum fluctuations suffers from surface divergences as we approach the brane, however, if the field is constrained to its value on the brane from the beginning then surface divergences disappear. The ratio of <φ2 > between the Kaluza-Klein spectrum and the lowest eigenvalue mode is found to vanish in the limit that one of the branes goes to infinity.
