  This work is devoted to the study of tensor gauge fields on a string-like
defect in six dimensions. This model is very successful in localizing fields of
various spins only by gravitational interaction. Due to problems of field
localization in membrane models we are motivated to investigate if a
string-like defect localizes the Kalb-Ramond field. In contrast to what happens
in Randall-Sundrum and thick brane scenarios we find a localized zero mode
without the addition of other fields in the bulk. Considering the local string
defect we obtain analytical solutions for the massive modes. Also, we take the
equations of motion in a supersymmetric quantum mechanics scenario in order to
analyze the massive modes. The influence of the mass as well as the angular
quantum number in the solutions is described. An additional analysis on the
massive modes is performed by the Kaluza-Klein decomposition, which provides
new details about the KK masses.
