Abstract

We show that in multidimensional Kaluza-Klein models the formula of the perihelion shift is Dπm2c2rg2/[2(D2)M2]D\pi m'^2c^2r_g^2/[2(D-2)M^2] where DD is a total number of spatial dimensions. This expression demonstrates good agreement with experimental data only in the case of ordinary three-dimensional (D=3)(D=3) space. This result does not depend on the size of the extra dimensions. Therefore, considered multidimensional Kaluza-Klein models face a severe problem.
