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 briefly introduce the Kaluza-Klein theory, the domain wall model, the large extra dimension model, and the warped extra dimension models. Then some thick brane solutions in extended theories of gravity are reviewed. Finally, localization of bulk matter fields on thick branes is discussed.

  1. Real Part Emergence in Purely Imaginary Quasinormal Modes in Perturbed de Sitter Braneworlds

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Perturbations on a thick de Sitter brane induce a real part in previously purely imaginary quasinormal modes, creating intermediate oscillatory signatures in time-domain signals while late-time behavior stays zero-mod...

  2. Quasinormal modes of the thick braneworld in $f(T)$ gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In a thick braneworld model with f(T) = T + α T², the parameter α induces brane splitting and alters the decay rates of quasinormal modes, with two numerical methods agreeing on the low-overtone spectrum.

  3. Interactions between different Kaluza-Klein modes in brane world

    hep-th 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The Orthonormal Completeness Hypothesis implies universal interactions between KK modes in brane-world effective actions for U(1) gauge and fermion fields.

  4. Two-scalar-field $f(R)$ Thick Branes, Gravitational Resonances and Quasinormal Modes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In ghost-free two-scalar f(R) thick branes, internal structure produces no narrow real-axis tensor resonances; quasinormal modes are broad with quality factors 0.9-1.9.

  5. Particle and Superparticle Confinement in Higher Codimension Braneworlds

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Spin-curvature coupling allows stable confinement of spinning particles near or on the brane in higher-codimension warped backgrounds, unlike the repulsive behavior for spinless particles.
