Gravitational excitons from extra dimensions

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study inhomogeneous multidimensional cosmological models with a higher dimensional space-time manifold under dimensional reduction and show that small inhomogeneous excitations of the scale factors of the internal spaces near minima of effective potentials should be observable as massive scalar particles (gravitational excitons) in the external space-time.
