We develop a type of Kaluza-Klein formalism in $(4+4)$-dimensions. In the framework of this formalism we obtain a new kind of Schwarzschild metric solutions that via Kruskal-Szequeres can be interpreted as mirror black and white holes. We…

Static, spherically symmetric configurations of gravity with nonminimally coupled scalar fields are considered in D-dimensional space-times in the framework of generalized scalar-tensor theories. We seek special cases when the system has no…
In (4 + 1) gravity the assumption that the five-dimensional metric is independent of the fifth coordinate authorizes the extra dimension to be either spacelike or timelike. As a consequence of this, the time coordinate and the extra…
