A warped space model with a constant boundary superpotential has been an efficient model both to break supersymmetry and to stabilize the radius, when hypermultiplet, compensator and radion multiplet are taken into account. In such a model…
We consider a recent model with sub-millimeter sized extra dimensions, where the field that determines the size of the extra dimensions (the radion) also acts as an inflaton. The radion is also a stable modulus, and its coherent…
Astrophysical bounds severely limit the possibility of observing collider signals of gravity with less than 3 flat extra dimensions. However, small distortions of the compactified space can lift the masses of the lightest graviton…
We derive exact expressions for the scalar and electromagnetic self-forces and self-torques acting on arbitrary static extended bodies in arbitrary static spacetimes with any number of dimensions. Non-perturbatively, our results are…
We present a simple model for the late time stabilization of extra dimensions. The basic idea is that brane solutions wrapped around extra dimensions, which is allowed by string theory, will resist expansion due to their winding mode. The…
Universal Extra Dimensions (UEDs) with compactification radius near the TeV scale provide interesting phenomenology at future colliders. The collider signals of the first Kaluza-Klein (KK) level are very similar to those of a supersymmetric…
We present a model for neutrino oscillations in the presence of a deconstructed non-gravitational large extra dimension compactified on the boundary of a two-dimensional disk. In the deconstructed phase, sub-mm lattice spacings are…
Non-Abelian gauge theories may have continuum limits in more than four dimensions, supported by non-trivial ultra-violet fixed points. Moreover, such theories can be expected to be accessible to Wilson's epsilon expansion. We investigate…
This article summarizes the proposal to address the cosmological constant problem within the framework of supersymmetric large extra dimensions (SLED). The proposed mechanism is described, emphasizing the relaxation mechanism which ensures…
We consider an extension of the ordinary four dimensional Minkowski space by introducing additional dimensions which have their own Lorentz transformation. Particles can transform in a different way under each Lorentz group. We show that…
We consider a multidimensional universe with the topology $M= \R\times M_1\times \cdots \times M_n$, where the $M_i$ ($i>1$) are $d_i$-dimensional Ricci flat spaces. Exploiting a conformal equivalence between minimal coupling models and…
In the usual 5-dimensional Randall-Sundrum scenario with warped geometry of the extra compact dimension, the Goldberger-Wise mechanism for stabilisation of the radius of compactification can lead to a scalar field called the radion. The…
The Universal Extra Dimension (UED) paradigm is particularly attractive as it not only includes a natural candidate for the Dark Matter particle but also addresses several issues related to particle physics. Non-observations at the Large…
We study conformal theories of gravity, i.e. those whose action is invariant under the local transformation g_{\mu\nu} -> \omega^2 (x) g_{\mu\nu}. As is well known, in order to obtain Einstein gravity in 4D it is necessary to introduce a…
Higher-dimensional field theory has been applied to explore various issues in recent particle physics such as the gauge hierarchy problem. In order for such approaches to be viable, a crucial ingredient is to fix the sizes of extra…
In this paper we present a realization of dark dimension. We consider the 5D standard model coupling to gravity with one dimension compactified on an orbifold, which is seen as dark dimension of size R. We stabilize the radion by casimir…
In the minimal Universal Extra Dimension (mUED) model, there are four physical scalar particles at the n=1 level, two charged and two neutral. Due to the almost degenerate nature of the spectrum, the detection of these scalars is a major…
We show that shape moduli in sub-millimeter extra dimensional scenarios, addressing the gauge hierarchy problem, can dominate the energy density of the universe today. In our scenario, the volume of the extra dimensions is stabilized at a…
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…
Circumstances are described in which symmetry breaking during the formation of our three-dimensional brane within a higher-dimensional space in the early universe excites mesoscopic classical radion or brane-displacement degrees of freedom…
