After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

This paper gives a comprehensive review on thick brane solutions and related topics. Such
models have attracted much attention from many aspects since the birth of the brane world …

This work deals with braneworld models driven by real scalar fields with nonstandard
dynamics. We develop the first-order formalism for models with standard gravity but with the …

This work deals with defect structures in models described by scalar fields. The
investigations focus on generalized models, with the kinetic term modified to allow for a …

In this work we study braneworld configurations in the scalar–tensor representation of
the\(f\left (R, T\right)\) gravity theory in the presence of a Cuscuton term in the source field …

In this review, we give a brief introduction on the aspects of some extra dimension models
and the five-dimensional thick brane models in extended theories of gravity. First, we briey …

In this work we study braneworld models in generalized f R, T gravity theories where the
action depends on a function of the Ricci scalar R and the trace of the stress–energy tensor …

We introduce a numerical procedure to investigate the spectrum of massive modes and its
contribution for gravity localization on thick branes. After considering a model with an …

In this work, kinks with non-canonical kinetic energy terms are studied in a type of two-
dimensional dilaton gravity model. The linear stability issue is generally discussed for …

Taking advantage of a previously developed method, which allows to map solutions of
General Relativity into a broad family of theories of gravity based on the Ricci tensor (Ricci …
