Kaluza-Klein modes of $U(1)$ gauge vector field on brane with codimension-$3$

From the paper [JHEP 01 (2019) 021], it is known that the effective action of a massless $U(1)$ gauge vector field on a codimension-2 brane is gauge invariant due to the coupling between the vector Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes with two types of scalar KK modes. In a model with three extra dimensions, there are three types of scalar KK modes. The couplings between different KK modes would be more complex. The vector KK mode would couple with the three types of scalar ones, and the three types of scalar ones also couple to each other. We demonstrate that all the KK modes also make up a gauge invariant effective action. The relationships between all the coupling constants of the KK modes finally lead to the gauge invariant effective action. This gauge invariant effective action implies that the masses of the vector KK mode contain three parts, which come from the three extra dimensions. However, the scalar ones only can obtain mass from two of the three extra dimensions.
