We present a higher dimensional model where gravity is bound to a brane due to Anderson localization. The extra dimensions are taken to be a disordered crystal of branes, with randomly distributed tensions of order the fundamental scale. Such geometries bind the graviton and thus allow for arbitrarily large extra dimensions even when the curvature is small. Thus this model is quite distinct from that of Randall and Sundrum where localization is a consequence of curvature effects in the bulk. The hierarchy problem can be solved by having the standard model brane live a distance away from the brane on which the graviton is localized. The statistical properties of the system are worked out and it is shown that the scenario leads to a continuum of four dimensional theories with differing strengths of gravitational interactions. We live on one particular brane whose gravitational constant is G(N).
我们提出了一个高维模型,其中引力由于安德森局域化而束缚在一个膜上。额外维度被视为一个无序的膜晶体,具有随机分布的张力,其量级为基本尺度。这种几何结构束缚了引力子,从而允许即使曲率很小也存在任意大的额外维度。因此,这个模型与 Randall 和 Sundrum 的模型截然不同,后者的局域化是由于体中的曲率效应。通过让标准模型膜与引力子局域化的膜保持一定距离,可以解决层次问题。该系统的统计特性被计算出来,并表明该情景导致了具有不同引力相互作用强度的连续的四维理论。我们生活在一个特殊的膜上,其引力常数为 G(N)。
