The negative results in the search for Kaluza–Klein graviton modes at the LHC, when confronted with
the discovery of the Higgs, have been construed to have severely limited the efficacy of the Randall–
Sundrum
model as an explanation of the hierarchy problem. We show, though, that the presence
of multiple warping offers a natural resolution of this conundrum through modifications in both the
graviton spectrum and their couplings to the Standard Model fields.

1. Introduction
Despite the spectacular success of the Standard Model (SM) of
elementary particles, the search for new physics beyond the SM
continues. One of the primary motivations for this is to resolve
the well-known gauge hierarchy/naturalness problem in connec-
tion
with the fine tuning of the higgs mass against large radia-
tive
corrections. Among several proposals to address this problem,
models with extra spatial dimensions draw special attention. In
this context, the warped geometry model proposed by Randall
and Sundrum (RS) [1] turned out to be particularly successful for
(i) it resolves the gauge hierarchy problem without bringing in any
other intermediate scale in the theory in contrast to the large ex-
tra
dimensional models; (ii) the modulus of the extra dimensional
model can be stabilized to a desired value by the Goldberger–Wise
mechanism [2], and (iii) a similar warped solution can be ob-
tained
from a more fundamental theory like string theory where
extra dimensions appear naturally [3]. As a result, several search
strategies at the LHC were designed specifically [4–7] to detect the
indirect/direct signatures of these warped extra dimensions e.g.
through the dileptonic decays of Kaluza–Klein (KK) excitations of
the graviton which appear in these models at the TeV scale.

theory are the 5-dimensional fundamental (gravitational) scale M
5
and the bulk cosmological constant
5
. The solution to Einstein’s
equations, on demanding a (1 +3)-dimensional Lorentz symmetry,
then leads to a warp-factor in the metric of the form exp(−k

where r
c
is the compactification radius and k

.
Clearly, the applicability of the semiclassical treatment (as opposed
to a full quantum gravity calculation) requires that the bulk cur-
vature
k
5
be substantially smaller than M
5
. An analogous string
theoretic argument [8] relating the D3 brane tension to the string
scale (related, in turn, to M
5
through Yang–Mills gauge couplings)
demands the same, leading to k
5
/M

0.1. On the other hand, too
small a value for this ratio would, typically, necessitate a consid-
erable
hierarchy between r
−1
c
and M
5
, thereby taking away from
the merits of the scenario. Thus, it is normally accepted that one
should consider only 0.01 ≤ k
5
/M
5
≤ 0.1. Indeed, this constraint
plays a crucial role in most of the phenomenological studies of this
scenario, and certainly for the aforementioned results reported by
the ATLAS and the CMS groups. Throughout our analysis we shall
impose an analogous condition on the bulk curvature as an im-
portant
restriction to ensure the applicability of our semiclassical
calculations.
In the context of the original RS model, the large exponential
warping is held responsible for the apparent lightness of the Higgs
vacuum expectation value v (and its mass), as perceived on our
brane, related as it is to some naturally high scale
v ∼ O(M

),
applicable at the other brane, through the relation

where x

’s are the roots of the Bessel function of order one. With
only the lowest (massless) graviton wavefunction being localized
away from our brane, its coupling to the SM fields is small, viz.
O(M
−1
5
). As the couplings of the others to the SM fields suffer
no such suppression, they are, presumably, accessible to collider
searches. The ATLAS Collaboration [5], though, has reported neg-
ative
results ruling out a level-1 KK graviton in the mass range
below 1.03 (2.23) TeV, with the exact lower bound depending on
the value chosen for k

This
result immediately brings forth a potential problem for the
model, for Eqs. (1) and (2) together demand that

Since k

0.1, it is immediately apparent that, unless
v is at
least two orders of magnitude smaller than M
5
, a 126 GeV Higgs
[9,10] would cry out for a KK graviton below a TeV. Indeed, this
argument has been inverted in the literature [11] to argue for a
much lower cutoff (in other words
v) in the theory. In other words,
some new physics would need to appear at least two orders of
magnitude below the fundamental scale M
5
, which, in the RS sce-
nario
is very close to the four-dimensional Planck scale itself.
Let
us remind ourselves of the nature of cutoffs in the effective
four-dimensional theory, considered as a theory of the SM fields
augmented by the RS gravitons. While the SM is operative below
the scale of the first KK graviton, the new four-dimensional the-
ory
is operative all the way up to the compactification scale ∼ r
−1
c
when each of the KK graviton is expected to take part in the am-
plitude
estimation as the beam energy is increased. Beyond the
energy ∼ r
−1
c
, we indeed encounter new physics by probing into
the extra dimension where the theory can no longer be defined as
an effective theory in four dimensions defined by standard model
and KK gravitons.
It
is important to realize, at this stage, that part of the afore-
mentioned
problem lies in the very restrictive nature of the RS
model as it is impossible to lower r
−1
c
by two orders without dis-
turbing
the value of the warped factor significantly. This, in turn,
would introduce a little hierarchy necessitating a fine tuning of
2–3 orders so that the Higgs mass may be kept ∼ 125 GeV. This
feature would worsen further if a graviton KK mode continues to
elude us in the forthcoming runs of the LHC, as well as in future
collider experiments.
On
the other hand, within the context of a generalization of
the RS model with additional warped extra dimensions, a lower
cutoff appears naturally, in the form of a larger compactification
radius. In other words, the problem is circumvented without the
need for any additional (small) fine tuning. Indeed, once we admit
more than four dimensions, there is no particular reason to restrict
the number to five, especially with constructs such as string theo-
retic
models arguing in favour of many more. Such variants of the
RS model have been proposed earlier [12–15,28] with these, typ-
ically,
considering several independent S

/Z
2
orbifolded dimen-
sions
along with M
(1,3)
. For example, codimension-2 brane models
[16] have been invoked to address aspects like Hubble expansion
and inflation [17–19], Casimir densities [20,21], little RS hierarchy
[22], gravity and matter field localizations [23,24], fermion mass
generations [25,26], moduli stabilization [27], etc.
We
begin our study, with a brief discussion of the basic features
of warped geometry model in 6-dimension with two successive

orbifoldings.

Consider a doubly warped compactified six-dimensional space–

where the compact directions are represented by the angular co-
ordinates
y, z ∈[0, π] with R

and r

being the corresponding
moduli. Just as in the RS case, non-trivial warp factors a(y) and
b(z), when accompanied by the orbifolding necessitates the pres-
ence
of localized energy densities at the orbifold fixed points, and
in the present case, these appear in the form of tensions associated
with the four end-of-the-world 4-branes.

The five-dimensional metrics in S

are those induced on the ap-
propriate
4-branes, which accord a rectangular box shape to the
space. Furthermore, the SM (and other) fields may be localized on
additional 3-branes located at the four corners of the box, viz.

These terms, however, are not germane to the discussions of this
paper, and we shall not discuss S

any further.
For
a negative bulk cosmological constant , the solutions for
the 6-dimensional Einstein field equations are given by [28]

The Israel junction conditions specify the brane tensions. The

With the warping in the y-direction being similar to that in the
5D RS model, the two 4-branes sitting at y = 0 and y = π have
equal and opposite energy densities. However, the z-warping dic-
tates
that, rather than being constants, these energy densities must
be z-dependent, viz.

Such a z-dependence can arise from a scalar field distribution con-
