Abstract

We study parametric amplification of Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in a higher DD-dimensional generalized Kaluza-Klein theory, which was originally considered by Mukohyama in the narrow resonance case. It was suggested that KK modes can be enhanced by an oscillation of a scale of compactification by the dd-dimensional sphere Sd (d=D4)S^d~(d=D-4) and by the direct product Sd1×Sd2 (d1+d2=D4)S^{d_1}\times S^{d_2}~(d_1+d_2=D-4). We extend this past work to the more general case where initial values of the scale of compactification and the quantum number of the angular momentum ll of KK modes are not small. We perform analytic approaches based on the Mathieu equation as well as numerical calculations, and find that the expansion of the universe rapidly makes the KK field deviate from instability bands. As a result, KK modes are not enhanced sufficiently in an expanding universe in these two classes of models.
