Fractal extra dimension in Kaluza-Klein theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Kaluza-Klein theory in which the geometry of an additional dimension is fractal has been considered. In such a theory the mass of an elementary electric charge appears to be many orders of magnitude smaller than the Planck mass, and the "tower" of masses which correspond to higher integer charges becomes aperiodic.
