Large top mixing from extra dimensions

Fermion mixing is conveniently described using the effective Lagrangian formalism. We apply this approach to study top mixing in models with an infinite tower of Kaluza-Klein fermion excitations. In the Randall-Sundrum background with a boundary Higgs and phenomenologically viable values of the model parameters, the only effect eventually observable is the loss of universality of the top couplings. Their deviation from the SM predictions can be up to 4 % if the five-dimensional Yukawa couplings times the AdS_5 curvature scale are < 10
