Abstract

We propose a new scenario of incorporating neutrino masses in models of TeV scale gravity and large extra dimensions, which can explain the dark energy problem through formation of neutrino condensates. The smallness of the neutrino masses and the scale of dark energy is protected to be small by the lepton number symmetry, which is broken in a distant brane, such that all lepton number violating effects are suppressed by the distance factor in the extra dimensions. The interactions of any bulk scalar particles are also suppressed by the distance factor. A lepton number violating soft-term is also induced from the distant brane, providing us a light pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson which becomes the mediator of the attractive force that forms the condensates.<br />Comment: 9 pages; to appear in Nucl.
