Abstract/Summary:
Theories with extra dimensions provide alternative solutions and views to many fundamental problems in high energy physics. In this thesis, I investigated brane world theory with infinite volume extra dimensions. Kinetic term for the graviton is induced by the quantum corrections on the brane and ‘shields’ the four dimensional physics from the strong bulk gravity. Phenomenology of brane induced gravity scenario is investigate in details, as well as finite thickness effects and higher codimensions cases.
