Show affiliationsWe study a nonlinear sigma-model-like theory of a bulk scalar field coupled to the five-dimensional Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant. We determine the structure of the non-factorizable spacetime which our Minkowskian brane bounds, when the pressure in the extra dimension is proportional to the energy density of the scalar field as
with a constant ω5. With these static solutions clarified by the parameter ω5, we fix the size of the extra dimension in terms of the bulk and brane potentials of the scalar field, imposing the stability condition in the cases of the 2-branes. The hierarchy problem is discussed in their Randall–Sundrum-like limit, and one of the static solutions obtained in the case of a strong bulk potential ω5 < 0 is interpreted as a thick 1-brane model.
