Consider the example of the relationship of the group O(3) of rotations in 3-space to the special unitary group SU(2). Given other unitary groups, what transformations can we find? In this paper we describe a method of constructing…
We introduce a type of Riemannian geometry in nine dimensions, which can be viewed as the counterpart of selfduality in four dimensions. This geometry is related to a 9-dimensional irreducible representation of ${\bf SO}(3) \times {\bf SO}…
The 4-dimensional space-time is extended to pseudo-complex coordinates. Proposing the standard quantization rules in this extended space, the ones for the 4-dimensional sub-space acquire, as one solution, the commutation relations with…
The $2n$ dimensional manifold with two mutually commutative operators of differentiation is introduced. Nontrivial multidimensional integrable systems connected with arbitrary graded (semisimple) algebras are constructed. The general…
Symmetries concerning the ordinary coordinate spacetime and internal spacetime are discussed. A possible unification model of electroweak, strong and gravitational interactions is briefly described.
We emphasize the necessity of a delicate interplay between the gauge and gravitational sectors of five-dimensional brane worlds in creating phenomenologically relevant vacua. We discuss locally supersymmetric brane worlds with unflipped and…
We consider a general n dimensional manifold, which is a direct product manifold of $M^4 \times M^{n-4}$ representing our universe and extra spatial dimensions. From Einstein-Hilbert action of the manifold, we deduce effective 4 dimensional…
We consider five-dimensional cylindric spacetime $V^5$ with foliation of codimension ~1. The leaves of this foliation are four-dimensional "parallel" universes. The metric of five-dimensional spacetime and induced metrics of…
It is possible that null paths in 5D appear as the timelike paths of massive particles in 4D, where there is an oscillation in the fifth dimension around the hypersurface we call spacetime. A particle in 5D may be regarded as multiply…
In this work, a detailed examination of a specific case of a generalized quasi-Einstein manifold (GQE)n is provided. It begins by exploring generalized quasi-Einstein spacetimes under certain conditions. The analysis then focuses on cases…
Robertson-Walker spacetimes within a large class are geometrically extended to larger cosmologies that include spacetime points with zero and negative cosmological times. In the extended cosmologies, the big bang is lightlike, and though…
Different models of field theories in two dimensions can be described by the action $Tr\int \vf F$. In the presence of a curved background, we construct a local supersymmetry-like transformations under which the action is invariant.…
Observational evidence, together with practical computations and modeling, supports a Euclidean spatial sector in the current cosmological model based on the FLRW metric. This, however, would imply that the total amount of matter and energy…
In this paper, a traversable wormhole in the Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model with one extra spacelike compact dimension is studied. We have chosen dynamical compactification as the evolution of the fifth dimension. In…
In this article we follow a previously developed theoretical approach, based in the tools of the singular semi-Riemannian geometry, to push the limits of time beyond the primordial spacetime singularity. By complexifying the…
Contrary to the general consensus in the literature that Friedmann--Lema\^{i}tre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) geometries are of embedding class one (i.e.,\ embeddable in one higher dimensional pseudo-Euclidean spaces), we show that the most…
We solve the Einstein equations in higher dimensions with warped geometry where an extra dimension is assumed to have orbifold symmetry $S^{1}/Z_{2}$. The setup considered here is an extension of the five-dimensional Randall-Sundrum model…
We study codimension-two spacelike submanifolds in Lorentzian spacetimes that admit umbilical lightlike normal directions. We show that such submanifolds are subject to strong geometric and topological constraints, establishing explicit…
One of the deepest insights from the general theory of relativity is the relational nature of spacetime. While it is a generally agreed on that the nature of spacetime must be drastically different at the Planck scale, it has been a common…
Using the recent limits established by ATLAS to the contact four-fermion interaction, bounds on the size of the extra dimensions of space-time have been found, by assuming that the contact interactions come through the inclusion of torsion…
