This paper is a review of a recently introduced cosmological model from a noncompact Kaluza-Klein theory for a single scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. We obtain that the 4D scalar potential has a geometrical origin and assume…
Relying upon the equivalence between a gauge theory for the translation group and general relativity, a teleparallel version of the original Kaluza-Klein theory is developed. In this model, only the internal space (fiber) turns out to be…
Unimodular theory incorporating the Kaluza-Klein construction in five dimensions leads, after reduction to four dimensions, to a new class of scalar-tensor theory. The vacuum cosmological solutions display a bouncing, non singular behavior.…

It is shown that formally regular solutions in 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity have singularities. This phenomenon is connected with the existence of a minimal length in nature. The calculation of the derivative of the $G_{55}$ metric component…
We present technical results which extend previous work and show that the cosmological constant of general relativity is an artefact of the reduction to 4D of 5D Kaluza-Klein theory (or 10D superstrings and 11D supergravity). We argue that…
We review higher-dimensional unified theories from the general relativity, rather than the particle physics side. Three distinct approaches to the subject are identified and contrasted: compactified, projective and noncompactified. We…
Kaluza-Klein theory is a 5-dimensional Einstein general relativity; it has the interest of describing on an equal footing the laws of gravitation and electromagnetism in a geometrically unified way. We present it in Chapter 1, and we…
We study the case in which the five dimensional theory is the transformed Weyl$-$Yang$-$Kaluza$-$Klein gravity. The dimensionally reduced equations of motion are derived by considering an alternative form of the main equation of the theory…
