The shape of multidimensional gravity
Abstract
In the case of one extra dimension, well known Newton's potential is generalized to compact and elegant formula if four-dimensional space has topology . Here, is magnitude of three-dimensional radius vector, is extra dimension and is a period of a torus . This formula is valid for full range of variables and and has known asymptotic behavior: for and for . Obtained formula is applied to an infinitesimally thin shell, a shell, a sphere and two spheres to show deviations from the newtonian expressions. Usually, these corrections are very small to observe at experiments. Nevertheless, in the case of spatial topology , experimental data can provide us with a limitation on maximal number of extra dimensions.
