Manyypyy new results in physics in last ten years Some of the most exciting involve extra dimensions of space Intriguing possibilities for our universe: both theoretical and experimental Warppged geometry ypy plays a central role in string theory today Warped geometry has particularly interesting signatures: resonances! Critical to explore theoretical possibilities and experimental consequences What’s New ? Br anes

3) Warping permits even infinite dimension 1) Gravityyg gets localized With branes, we’ve found warped geometry solutions that provide:
New way to hide dimensions
NtflithiNew concept of our place in the universe
New way to explain weakness of gravity Connection to Ph ysics Hierarch y P robl em:
Why is gravity so weak compared to the other elementary forces?
Might not seem weak but magnet can take on the entire Earth- Hierarch y P robl em Need “fine-tuning” to get very different masses Key issue in particle physics today One that will be resolved at LHC “Fine-tuning” is unlikely:
Barnett Newman: Broken Obelisk With Raman RS1 “Multiverse:” Sundrum Warped Spacetime Geometry
•Two branes •Gravity will be concentrated on Gravitybrane •But we live on a second brane: •The Weakbrane/TeV Brane Natural for gravity to be weak!
Small probability for graviton to be near the Weakbrane
If we live anywhere bhGibbut the Gravitybrane, gravity will seem weak

Looks like 6 large dimensions
In this case KK mode decays to lighter KK modes
KK energy goes to missing energy Variations of RS1: matter in bulk or on brane??
Two key features that make bulk matter possible
¾ Size of fifth dimension extremely small (only about 30 times fundamental scalescale—— exponential hierarchy) Means coupling won’t be too diluted/weak
¾ You only need Higgs on the Weakbrane to address the hierarchy
Problem only for the Higgs scalar: gauge boson and fermion masses are protected Merits of bulk fermions and gggauge fields
