Perturbative breaking of supersymmetry in four-dimensional string theories predict in general the existence of new large dimensions at the TeV scale. Such dimensions can be consistent with perturbative unification up to the Planck scale in…
In the minimal Universal Extra Dimension (mUED) model, the second Kaluza-Klein (KK) gluon $g^{(2)}$ has loop-induced vertices with the standard model quarks, mediated by the first KK modes of the quark and the gluon/Higgs boson. With a top…
We propose a six dimensional Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) model compactified on a real projective plane $RP^2$, a two-sphere with its antipodal points being identified. We utilize the Randjbar-Daemi-Salam-Strathdee spontaneous sphere…
In phenomenological models with extra dimensions there is a natural symmetry group associated to a brane universe, -- the group of rotations of normal bundle of the brane. We consider Kaluza-Klein gauge fields corresponding to this group…
We discuss collider signatures of (1,1)-th Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode vector bosons in the framework of two universal extra dimension model, at a future electron-positron collider. Production of the (1,1)-th KK mode of electro-weak vector…
We have studied cosmological constraints on the number and radii of possible large extra dimensions. If such dimensions exist, Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes are copiously produced at high temperatures in the early universe, and can potentially…
We consider Kaluza-Klein (KK) models where internal spaces are compact Einstein spaces. These spaces are stabilized by background matter (e.g., monopole form-fields). We perturb this background by a compact matter source (e.g., the system…
The exclusive weak decay of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda l^{+} l^{-}$ are investigated in the Applequist-Cheng-Dobrescu model, which is an extension of the standard model in presence of universal extra…
In this review article, we discuss the current status of particle dark matter, including experimental evidence and theoretical motivations. We discuss a wide array of candidates for particle dark matter, but focus on neutralinos in models…
We investigate the classical gravitational tests for the six-dimensional Kaluza-Klein model with spherical (of a radius $a$) compactification of the internal space. The model contains also a bare multidimensional cosmological constant…
In view of the fact that the $n = 1$ Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in a model with a Universal Extra Dimension (UED), could mimic supersymmetry signatures at the LHC, it is necessary to look for the $n = 2$ KK modes, which have no analogues in…
We present a global neutrino oscillation analysis of models with a single large extra dimension in which right-handed neutrinos possess bulk Dirac masses. Two scenarios are considered: Large Extra Dimensions with bulk masses and the Dark…
We investigate classical gravitational tests for the Kaluza-Klein model with spherical compactification of the internal two-dimensional space. In the case of the absence of a multidimensional bare cosmological constant, the only matter…
Many extensions of the Standard Model have to face the problem of new unsuppressed baryon-number violating interactions. In supersymmetry, the simplest way to solve this problem is to assume R-parity conservation. As a result, the lightest…
In this paper we study the general scenario of an effective theory coming from the compactification of a higher dimensional theory in a string inspired setting. This leads to gauge coupling unification at an intermediate mass scale. After…
All the boundary conditions compatible with the reduction of a five dimensional spinor field of bulk mass $M$ in a compactified warped space to a four dimensional brane are derived from the hermiticity conditions of the relevant operator.…
We discuss the physics of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the Standard Model gauge bosons that can be explored by a high energy muon collider in the era after the LHC and TeV Linear Collider. We demonstrate that the muon collider is a necessary…

If the Higgs does not propagate into an otherwise universal extra dimension, then tree-level Kaluza-Klein number is not conserved in the Yukawa interactions. This leads to mixing between zero-mode fermions and their associated Kaluza-Klein…
In the present paper the fermion fields, living in the background of five-dimensional warped brane world models with compact extra dimension, are thoroughly examined. The Kaluza-Klein decomposition and isolation of the physical degrees of…
