IR properties of one loop corrections to brane-to-brane propagators in models with localized vector bosons

Abstract

We discuss the one loop effects of massless fermion fields on the low energy vector brane-to-brane propagators in the framework of two QED brane-world scenarios. We show that one loop photon brane-to-brane propagator has a power law pathologic IR divergences in the 5D QED brane-world model with gap between the vector zero mode and continuous states. We also find that bulk fermions do not give rise to IR divergences in a photon brane-to-brane Green's function at least at the one loop level in the framework of 6D QED brane model with gapless mass spectrum between vector zero mode and higher states.
