Abstract

A multidimensional cosmological model with space-time consisting of n(n2)n (n \ge 2) Einstein spaces MiM_{i} is investigated in the presence of a cosmological constant Λ\Lambda and a homogeneous minimally coupled scalar field φ(t)\varphi(t) as a matter source. Classical and quantum wormhole solutions are obtained for Λ<0\Lambda < 0 and all MiM_{i} being Ricci-flat. Classical wormhole solutions are also found for Λ<0\Lambda < 0 and only one of the MiM_{i} being Ricci-flat for the case of spontaneous compactification of the internal dimensions with fine tuning of parameters.
