We investigate the stability of the extra dimensions in a warped, codimensiontwo braneworld that is based upon an Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory with anon-vanishing scalar field potential. The braneworld solution has two 3-branes,which are located at the positions of the conical singularities. For this typeof brane solution the relative positions of the branes (the shape modulus) isdetermined via the tension-deficit relations, if the brane tensions are fixed.However, the volume of the extra dimensions (the volume modulus) is not fixedin the context of the classical theory, implying we should take quantumcorrections into account. Hence, we discuss the one-loop effective potential ofthe volume modulus for a massless, minimally coupled scalar field.Comment: 25 pages, 8 figures, typos correcte
