We study a thick Palatini f(R) brane, that is, a braneworld scenario described by an anti-de Sitter warped geometry with a single extra dimension of infinite extent, sourced by real scalar field under the Palatini approach, where the metric and the connection are regarded as independent degrees of freedom. We consider a first-order framework which we use to provide exact solutions for the scalar field and warp factor. We also investigate a perturbative scenario such that the Palatini approach is implemented through a Lagrangian f(R)=R+{\"I}{\textmu}R^n, where the small parameter {\"I}{\textmu} controls the deviation from the standard thick brane case.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2592), last updated on Fri, 15 Apr 2016 15:19:50 +0000", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3803-0", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.0897", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3803-0", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1411.0897" }
