We present string-like soliton solutions of three-dimensional gravity, coupled to a compact scalar field $x^{11}$ and Kaluza-Klein reduced on a circle. These solitons carry fractional magnetic flux with respect to the Kaluza-Klein gauge…

The evidence for the accelerated expansion of the universe and the time-dependence of the fine-structure constant suggests the existence of at least one scalar field with a mass of order H_0. If such a field exists, then it is generally…

The Einstein field equations can be derived in $n$ dimensions ($n>2$) by the variations of the Palatini action. The Killing reduction of 5-dimensional Palatini action is studied on the assumption that pentads and Lorentz connections are…
A five-dimensional solution to Einstein's equations coupled to a scalar field has been proposed as a partial solution to the cosmological constant problem: the effect of arbitrary vacuum energy (tension) of a 3-brane is cancelled; however,…
