The structure and origin of the Friedmann integrals are analyzed within the framework of large extra dimensions proposed by Arkani-Hamed et all. (1998). It is demonstrated that the integrals might emerge from extra-dimension physics and…
Lower-dimensionality at higher energies has manifold theoretical advantages as recently pointed out. Moreover, it appears that experimental evidence may already exists for it - a statistically significant planar alignment of events with…
In cosmologies with more than four dimensions, of the type required for unification, it is possible for signals to have velocities in excess of that of light. Using a five-dimensional model which otherwise agrees with observations, two…
The large difference between the Planck scale and the electroweak scale, known as the hierarchy problem, is addressed in certain models through the postulate of extra spatial dimensions. A search for evidence of extra spatial dimensions in…
In theories with large extra dimensions, constraints from cosmology lead to non-trivial lower bounds on the fundamental scale M_F, corresponding to upper bounds on the radii of the compact extra dimensions. These constraints are especially…
We examine in the context of supersymmetric models whether the usual cosmological upper bound on the axion decay constant can be relaxed by assuming a period of stronger QCD in the early universe. By evaluating the axion potential in the…
The Kaluza-Klein compactification in the limit of large number of extra dimensions is studied. Starting point is the Einstein-Hilbert action plus cosmological constant in 4+D dimensions. It is shown that in the large D limit the effective…
It has recently been pointed out that global solutions of Einstein's equations for a 3-brane universe embedded in 4 spatial dimensions give rise to a Friedmann equation of the form H ~ rho on the brane, instead of the usual H ~ (rho)^{1/2},…
We have considered N-dimensional Einstein field equations in which four-dimensional space-time is described by a FRW metric and that of extra dimensions by an Euclidean metric. We have chosen the exponential forms of scale factors a and d…
We present a mini-review of present constraints of the large extra dimension scenario. We show many experiments and considerations that can constrain the fundamental scale of the large extra dimension. We observe that constraints come from…
The exclusive gamma-met signal has a small standard model cross-section and is thus a good channel in which to look for signs of new physics. This signature is predicted by models with a superlight gravitino or with large extra spatial…
There is no known fundamental reason to demand as a cosmological initial condition that the bulk possess an SO(3,1) isometry. On the contrary, one expects bulk curvature terms that violate the SO(3,1) isometry at early epochs, leading to a…
The lightest Kaluza-Klein particle appearing in models with universal extra dimensions has recently been proposed as a viable dark matter candidate when the extra dimensions are compactified on a scale of the order of 1 TeV. Underlying…
We give a brief summary of present bounds on the size of possible extra-dimensions as well as the string scale from collider experiments.
This article reviews the arguments why extra dimensions provide a unique opportunity for progress on the cosmological constant problem, and updates the status of -- and the objections to (with replies) -- the specific proposal using…
The recent measurement of helium-4 from the near-infrared spectroscopy of extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) by the Subaru Survey may point to a new puzzle in the Early Universe. We exploit this new helium measurement together with the…

Although big bang cosmology effectively models even the most puzzling observational data, it offers no insight into why the cosmological expansion should occur at all. In this paper it is suggested that a finite Universe poses particular…
In this article, we discuss the mechanism for generating the lepton/baryon number and its subsequent conservation based on extradimensional evolution. The internal angular momentum of extra space is related to the lepton/baryon charge.…
One of the most important and surprising discoveries in cosmology in recent years is the realization that our Universe is dominated by a mysterious dark energy, which leads to an accelerating expansion of space-time. A simple generalization…
