This thesis presents our proposals for new braneworlds models. Some of the main open issues in high energy physics have interesting solutions assuming the space-time has more than four dimensions. For instance, the hierarchy problem between the eletroweak and the Planck scales, and the origin of the cosmological constant, find some solutions in the brane scenarios. Since these models are rather sensible on the geometrical structure of the multidimensional space time where the brane is embedded, our main goal is to analyze how the geometrical and physical properties of the braneworld and of fields living on it evolve under a geometrical flow in the transverse manifold. The first step was propose an smoothed string-like braneworld with a transverse resolved conifold. The resolution parameter changes the width of the well and the high of the barrier of the Kaluza-Klein modes. Further, the source of this warped solution has different phases depending on the resolution parameter. The massless modes for the scalar, gauge and spinor fields are only well-behaved on the brane for non singular configurations. Another smooth geometrical flow studied was the so-called Ricci flow. This flux posses diffeomorphic invariant solutions called Ricci solitons which are extremals of the energy and entropy functionals. An important two-dimensional Ricci soliton with axial symmetry is the cigar soliton. A warped product between a 3-brane and the cigar soliton turns to be an interior and exterior string-like solution satisfying the dominant energy condition and that supports a massless gravitational mode trapped to the brane. The last geometric modification proposed was the locally Lorentz symmetry violation through a Finsler geometry approach. This anisotropic differential geometry has been intensely studied in last years. We have chosen the so-called bipartite space where the length of the events is measure using the metric and another symmetric tensor called bipartite tensor. We have shown the bipartite space deforms the causal surface to an elliptic cone and provides an anisotropy into the inertia of a particle. By means of an extended Einstein-Hilbert action we have shown an analogy between the bipartite space and the bumblebee and bipartite models which are effective Lorentz violating models in curved space times.
