Abstract

In this work we generalize the Stefan-Boltzmann and Wien's displacement laws for a DD-dimensional manifold composed by 4 non-compact dimensions and D4D-4 compact dimensions, R1,3 R^{1,3} x TD4T^{D-4} . The electromagnetic field is assumed to pervade all compact and non-compact dimensions. In particular, the total radiated power becomes R(T)=σBT4+σD(a)TD R(T) = \sigma_B T^4 + \sigma_D (a) \, T^D , where aa is the size of the compact extra dimensions. For D=10D=10, predicted from String Theory, and D=11D=11, from M-Theory, the outcomes agree with available experimental data for aa as high as 2 x 10710^{-7}m.
