Five-dimensional models where the bulk is a slice of AdS have the virtue of solving the hierarchy problem. The electroweak scale is generated by a ``warp'' factor of the induced metric on the brane where the standard model fields live. However, it is not necessary to confine the standard model fields on the brane and we analyze the possibility of having the fields actually living in the slice of AdS. Specifically, we study the behaviour of fermions, gauge bosons and scalars in this geometry and their implications on electroweak physics. These scenarios can provide an explanation of the fermion mass hierarchy by warp factors. We also consider the case of supersymmetry in the bulk, and analyze the conditions on the mass spectrum. Finally, a model is proposed where the warp factor generates a small (TeV) supersymmetry-breaking scale, with the gauge interactions mediating the breaking to the scalar sector.

  1. Vacuum structure of a scalar field on a torus with uniform magnetic flux

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Above a critical area, a complex scalar on a torus with flux M develops a non-zero coordinate-dependent vacuum expectation value, yielding 1, 2, or 6 degenerate configurations for M=1,2,3 in the lowest-mode approximation.

  2. Axion Quality in Warped Extra-Dimension

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Warped extra-dimensional axion models achieve high quality when nonlocal U(1)-charged field effects are sufficiently suppressed by the warp factor and orbifold structure.

  3. Impact of hidden heavy Higgs channels of VLB-Quarks below 1 TeV in 2HDM

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Hidden BSM decays of vector-like bottom quarks in 2HDM-II relax LHC mass limits from ~1.5 TeV to 1.34 TeV for singlets and 0.98 TeV for doublets.

  4. Probing Heavy Neutral Higgs Bosons via Single Vector-Like Bottom Quark Production at the HL-LHC

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    XGBoost multivariate analysis extends the 5-sigma discovery reach for singly produced vector-like bottom quarks decaying via heavy neutral Higgs bosons to 1.6 TeV at the HL-LHC with 3 ab^{-1}.
