Abstract:
We obtain and solve the linearized equations of motion for gravity and scalar fields in the world stabilized brane model in the five-dimensional Brans–Dicke theory. We segregate the physical degrees of freedom and find the mass spectrum of the Kaluza–Klein excitations and the coupling constants of Kaluza–Klein modes to matter on the brane with negative tension.
Keywords:Kaluza–Klein theory, Brans–Dicke theory, brane, radion stabilization, linearized gravity.
