In this paper we consider the Kaluza-Klein fields equations in presence of a generic 5D matter tensor which is governed by a conservation equation due to 5D Bianchi identities. Following a previous work, we provide a consistent approach to…
In this short note we comment on the relation between the cosmological and the Kaluza-Klein mass scale in the dark dimension scenario, also in view of some recent claims that would raise some doubts about the validity of this scenario. Here…

In this paper we investigate non-compact FRW type Kaluza-Klein cosmology coupled with 5D energy-momentum tensor. The field equations are solved by taking gravitational and cosmological constants as a function of time $t$. We use…
