Popis: In this work we obtain topological and equivalent theories on brane-worlds in several dimensions. Our brane is a solitonic-like hypersurface embedded in a spacetime with a specific dimensionality and it appears due to the breaking of a Peccei–Quinn-like symmetry. In the first part of this work, the obtained topological theories are related to a generalization of the axion–photon anomalous interaction in D = 4 (in the Abelian case) and to the Wess–Zumino term (in the non-Abelian case). In the second part, we construct equivalent models on the brane through a mechanism of explicit Lorentz symmetry breaking. The gauge symmetries of such models are discussed within the Stuckelberg formalism.
