In Kaluza-Klein compactifications, some symmetries of the higher dimensional theory are preserved in lower dimensions, others are broken, and occasionally, there are symmetry enhancements. The symmetries that are enhanced by toroidal…

We investigate the cosmological consequences of having quantum fields living in a space with compactified dimensions. We will show that the equation of state is not modified by topological effects and so the dynamics of the universe remains…
We examine Kaluza-Klein branes in detail. Specifically, we show that codimension four submanifolds that are stationary under a semi-free circle action may be interpreted as branes or antibranes in the Kaluza-Klein reduced space that are…

In the usual procedure for toroidal Kaluza-Klein reduction, all the higher-dimensional fields are taken to be independent of the coordinates on the internal space. It has recently been observed that a generalisation of this procedure is…
In this paper we show the classical global stability of the flat Kaluza-Klein spacetime, which corresponds to Minkowski spacetime in $\m R^{1+4}$ with one direction compactified on a circle. We consider small perturbations which are allowed…
We study the perturbative unitarity of scattering amplitudes in general dimensional reductions of Yang-Mills theories and general relativity on closed internal manifolds. For the tree amplitudes of the dimensionally reduced theory to have…
This work starts with the observation of a certain "rule" (up to now unexplored) in the fundamental laws of Nature. We show some evidence of this, and formulate it as a fundamental principle which exhibits a number physical consequences. In…
Fundamental theories, like strings, supergravity, Kaluza-Klein, lead after dimensional reduction and a suitable choice of field configurations, to an effective action in four dimensions where gravity is coupled non-mininally to one scalar…

The transition from formulations with extra dimensions to Kaluza-Klein theories, aimed at extending the Standard Model, bears the ingredients of hidden symmetries and the Kaluza-Klein mechanism for mass generation. We explore these…
