We consider a standard model singlet which is accessible to a single extra dimension and its zero mode is localized with Gaussian profile around a point different from the origin. This zero-mode scalar is a possible candidate for the dark matter and its annihilation rate is sensitive to the compactification radius of the extra dimension, the localization width and the position. For the case of non-resonant annihilation, we estimated the dark matter scalar location around a point, at a distance similar to 3x localization width from the origin, by using the annihilation rate which is based on the current relic density.

Spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein plus non-polynomial gravities Deser, S.; Sarıoğlu, Bahtiyar Özgür; Tekin, Bayram (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01) We obtain the static spherically symmetric solutions of a class of gravitational models whose additions to the General Relativity (GR) action forbid Ricci-flat, in particular, Schwarzschild geometries. These theories are selected to maintain the (first) derivative order of the Einstein equations in Schwarzschild gauge. Generically, the solutions exhibit both horizons and a singularity at the origin, except for one model that forbids spherical symmetry altogether. Extensions to arbitrary dimension with a cos...
Radiative decays of the heavy tensor mesons in light cone QCD sum rules Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Savcı, Mustafa (American Physical Society (APS), 2019-01-11) The transition form factors of the radiative decays of the heavy tensor mesons to heavy pseudoscalar and heavy vector mesons are calculated in the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules method at the point Q(2) = 0. Using the obtained values of the transition form factors at the point Q(2) = 0, the corresponding decay widths are estimated. The results show that the radiative decays of the heavy-light tensor mesons could potentially be measured in the future planned experiments at LHCb.
Closed timelike curves and geodesics of Godel-type metrics Gleiser, RJ; Gurses, M; Karasu, Atalay; Sarıoğlu, Bahtiyar Özgür (IOP Publishing, 2006-04-07) it is shown explicitly that when the characteristic vector field that defines a Godel-type metric is also a Killing vector, there always exist closed timelike or null curves in spacetimes described by such a metric. For these geometries, the geodesic curves are also shown to be characterized by a lower-dimensional Lorentz force equation for a charged point particle in the relevant Riemannian background. Moreover, two explicit examples are given for which timelike and null geodesics can never be closed.
Massive, topologically massive, models Deser, S; Tekin, Bayram (IOP Publishing, 2002-06-07) In three dimensions, there are two distinct mass-generating mechanisms for gauge fields: adding the usual Proca/Pauli-Fierz, or the more esoteric Chern-Simons (CS), terms. Here, we analyse the three-term models where both types are present and their-various limits. Surprisingly, in the tensor case, these seemingly innocuous systems are physically unacceptable. If the sign of the Einstein term is 'wrong', as is in fact required in the CS theory, then the excitation masses are always complex; with the usual s...
Shortcuts to spherically symmetric solutions: a cautionary note Deser, S; Franklin, J; Tekin, Bayram (IOP Publishing, 2004-11-21) Spherically symmetric solutions of generic gravitational models are optimally, and legitimately, obtained by expressing the action in terms of the surviving metric components. This shortcut is not to be overdone; however, a one-function ansatz invalidates it, as illustrated by the incorrect solutions of Wohlfarth (2004 Class. Quantum Grav. 21 1927).
