Abstract

This is a pedagogical introduction into theories with branes and extra dimensions. We first discuss the construction of such models from an effective field theory point of view, and then discuss large extra dimensions and some of their phenomenological consequences. Various possible phenomena (split fermions, mediation of supersymmetry breaking and orbifold breaking of symmetries) are discussed next. The second half of this review is entirely devoted to warped extra dimensions, including the construction of the Randall-Sundrum solution, intersecting branes, radius stabilization, KK phenomenology and bulk gauge bosons.
