Radion stabilization in higher curvature warped spacetime

Abstract We consider a five dimensional AdS spacetime in presence of higher curvature term like $$F(R) = R + \alpha R^2$$ F(R)=R+αR2 in the bulk. In this model, we examine the possibility of modulus stabilization from the scalar degrees of freedom of higher curvature gravity free of ghosts. Our resu...
