Photon mass as a probe to extra dimensions

In this manuscript we show that the geometrical localization mechanism implies a four dimensional mass for the photon. The consistence of the model provides a mass given exactly by mγ=R/4 where R is the Ricci scalar. As a consequence, the cosmological photon has a mass related to the vacuum solution...
