We examine the Kaluza-Klein theory for warped flux compactifications of type $II\ b $ string theory on a Minkowski spacetime $ M_4$ times a conic Calabi-Yau orientifold $X_6$. The region glued along the internal space directions to the bulk…
The Kepler-type dynamical symmetries of the Kaluza-Klein monopole are reviewed. At the classical level, the conservation of the angular momentum and of a Runge-Lenz vector imply that the trajectories are conic sections. The o(4) algebra…

Compact stars in the Kaluza-Klein space-time are investigated, with multiple additional compactified spatial dimensions ($d$). Within the extended phenomenological model, a static, spherically symmetric solution is considered, with the…
The contribution of virtual s-channel Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons to high energy scattering of the SM fields in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model with two branes is studied. The small curvature option of the RS model is considered in which the…
We consider the Einstein-Hilbert action without cosmological constant in 5-dimensions and implement the Kaluza-Klein (KK) reduction by compactifying the fifth direction on a circle of small but finite radius. For non-zero compactification…
Effects of universal extra dimensions on Standard Model observables first arise at the one-loop level. The quantization of this class of theories is therefore essential in order to perform predictions. A comprehensive study of the Standard…
We compute the spin-2 Kaluza-Klein modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and a seven-ellipsoid. This background with global G_2 symmetry is related to a U(N) x U(N) N=1 superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory with sixth order…
We determine the first curvature correction for the string amplitude of two supergravity states and two Kaluza-Klein modes on $\text{AdS}_5 \times \text{S}^5$, which is dual to the correlator $\langle \mathcal{O}_2 \mathcal{O}_2…
Models in extra-dimensions have unique features. Many of their surprising properties simply result from the underlying 5D structure. This structure shows up as ``Sum Rules'' involving the whole tower of Kaluza-Kleins. In this paper, we…
A theoretical framework for calculating the mass-radius curve of compact stars in the Kaluza-Klein space-time is introduced, with one additional compact spatial dimension. Static, spherically symmetric solutions are considered, with the…
We study a 3d/2d dimensional degression which is a Kaluza-Klein type mechanism in AdS$_3$ space foliated into AdS$_2$ hypersurfaces. It is shown that an AdS$_3$ massless particle of spin $s=1,2,...,\infty$ degresses into a couple of AdS$_2$…
We use direct Kaluza-Klein reduction to calculate the spectrum of spin-2 modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and a certain squashed and stretched 7-sphere. The modes turn out to be polynomials in the four complex variables parameterizing…
We construct gauge theories in two extra dimensions compactified on the chiral square, which is a simple compactification that leads to chiral fermions in four dimensions. Stationarity of the action on the boundary specifies the boundary…
We investigate the Kaluza-Klein reductions to ten dimensions of the purely gravitational half-BPS M-theory backgrounds: the M-wave and the Kaluza-Klein monopole. We determine the moduli space of smooth (supersymmetric) Kaluza-Klein…
Recently bulk Randall-Sundrum theories with the gauge group $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$ have drawn a lot of interest as an alternative to electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. These models are in better agreement with…
In a recent paper (J.R. Morris, Quant. Stud. Math. Found. 2 (2015) 359), an inhomogeneous compactification of the extra dimension of a five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein metric has been shown to generate a position-dependent mass (PDM) in the…
We reconsider the issue of large-volume compactifications of the heterotic string in light of the recent discoveries about strongly-coupled string theories. Our conclusion remains firmly negative with respect to classical compactifications…
We study the massive spectrum of fully wrapped branes in warped M-theory compactifications, including regimes where these states are parametrically lighter than the Planck scale or string scale. We show that many such states behave…
Perturbative unitarity for $\wlwl$ scattering is discussed within the Randall-Sundrum model. It is shown that the exchange of massive 4D Kaluza-Klein gravitons leads to amplitudes growing linearly with the CM energy squared. Summing over KK…
