In universal extra-dimensional models a conserved $Z_2$ parity ensures the stability of the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle, a potential dark-matter candidate. We show here that boundary-localized kinetic terms, in general, do not preserve…
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…
Five dimensional model with extended dimensions investigated. It is shown that four dimensionality of our world is the result of stability requirement. Extra component of Einstein equations giving trapping solution for matter fields…
In previous articles it was demonstrated that the total cross section of the scattering of two light particles (zero modes of the Kaluza-Klein tower) in the six-dimensional $\lambda \phi^{4}$ model differs significantly from the cross…
When four-dimensional general relativity is embedded in an unconstrained man-ner in a fifth dimension, the physical quantities of spacetime can be interpreted as geometrical properties related to the extra dimension. It has become…
We outline that, in a Kaluza-Klein framework, not only the electro-magnetic field can be geometrized, but also the dynamics of a charged spinning particle can be inferred from the motion in a 5-dimensional space-time. This result is…
We investigate the quantized scalar field on the Kaluza-Klein spacetimes of $M^D\times T^d \times S_{FZ}$, where $M^D$ is the ordinary $D$ dimensional flat Minkowski spacetimes, $T^d $ is the $d$ dimensional commutative torus, and $S_{FZ}$…
We study the thermodynamics of small black holes in compactified spacetimes of the form R^(d-1)x S^1. This system is analyzed with the aid of an effective field theory (EFT) formalism in which the structure of the black hole is encoded in…
The main goal of this paper is to give an alternative interpretation of space-like and time-like extra dimensions as a primary factor for inflation in the early universe. We introduce the 5-dimensional perfect fluid and compare the…
Motivated by recent work on low energy unification, in this short note we derive corrections on Newton's inverse square law due to the existence of extra decompactified dimensions. In the four-dimensional macroscopic limit we find that the…
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 extend the classical general relativistic theory of measurement to include the possibility of existence of higher dimensions. The intrusion of these dimensions in the spacetime interval implies that the inertial mass of a particle in…
In this letter we show that in a Kaluza-Klein framework we can have arbitrary topology change between the macroscopic (i.e. noncompactified) spacelike 3-hypersurfaces. This is achieved by using the compactified dimensions as a catalyser for…
We consider a U(1) gauge field theory with fermion fields (or with scalar fields) that live in a space with $\delta$ extra compact dimensions, and we compute the fermion-induced quantum energy in the presence of a constant magnetic field,…
We show that the Kaluza-Klein theory contains a fundamental problem: The four-dimensional metric tensor and the electromagnetic potential vector assumed in the Kaluza-Klein theory belong to four-dimensional vector spaces that are not…
Within the superfield method we extend the formulation of the Lorentz-breaking aether superspace for supergauge theories, both in three- and in four-dimensional cases.
The cold dark matter (CDM) scenario has proved successful in cosmology. However, we lack a fundamental understanding of its microscopic nature. Moreover, the apparent disagreement between CDM predictions and subgalactic-structure…
The nature of space-time at high energy is an open question and the link between extra-dimensional theories with the physics of the Standard Model can not be established in a unique way. The compactification path is not unique and…
We study a number of issues related to the emission and absorption radiation by non-relativistic electrons within the framework of a Lorentz-breaking electrodynamics in (3+1) dimensions. Our main results concern how Planck-like spectrum law…
Currently only three spatial and one temporal dimensions are considered to be "physical". Recently, solutions to a plethora of questions have used the notion of extra-dimensions. The experimental verification of the existence of such extra…
