Abstract
We consider the embedding of the Standard Model fields in a -dimensional theory while gravitons may propagate in extra, compact dimensions. We study the modification of strengths of the gravitational and gauge interactions and, for various values of and , we determine the energy scale at which these strengths are unified. Special cases where the unification of strengths is characterized by the absence of any hierarchy problem are also presented.
