We review some aspects of theories with compact extra dimensions. We consider the motivation and the theoretical basis of Large, Universal and Warped Extra Dimensions. We focus on those aspects that are potentially relevant in the…
Many efforts have been devoted to the studies of the phenomenology in particle physics with extra dimensions. We propose the degenerate fermion star in the five dimensions, and study what effects caused by the geometry of extra dimensions…
In induced matter Kaluza-Klein gravity theory the solution of the dynamics equations for the test particle on null path leads to additional force in four-dimensional space-time. We find such force from five-dimensional geodesic line…
The tired-light cosmology is considered in the framework of Kaluza-Klein theory in 5D. The solution of the five-dimensional semi-classical Einstein equations with nonzero five-dimensional energy-momentum tensor gives density of matter in…
We consider a version of Kaluza-Klein theory where the cylinder condition is not imposed. The metric is allowed to have explicit dependence on the "extra" coordinate(s). This is the usual scenario in brane-world and space-time-matter…
In this paper, Kaluza-Klein theory is revisited and its implications are elaborated. We show that electromagnetic 4-potential can be considered as a shearing-like deformation of a 5-dimensional (5D) manifold along the fifth (5th) axis. The…
We review briefly the main features of the Large Extra Dimensions scenario in the framework of weakly coupled Type I string theory. Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of the graviton are expected, whereas no KK modes for the gauge bosons arise…
A compactification of 11-dimensional supergravity with two (or more) walls is considered. The whole tower of massive Kaluza-Klein modes along the fifth dimension is taken into account. With the sources on the walls, an explicit composition…
Much recent attention has focused on theories with large extra compactified dimensions. However, while the phenomenological implications of the volume moduli associated with such compactifications are well understood, relatively little…
We consider Kaluza-Klein theories as candidates for the unification of gravity and the electro-weak model. In particular, we fix how to reproduce geometrically the interaction between fermions and gauge bosons, in the low energy limit.
We consider the effects of adding a fourth generation to a model with two compactified extra dimensions -- one warped and the other flat. The extra dimensions lead to towers of Kaluza-Klein (KK) Z bosons. Interestingly, the higher KK-Z…
The ultra-violet behavior of Kaluza-Klein theories on a one dimensional orbifold is discussed. An extension of dimensional regularization that can be applied to a compact dimension is presented. Using this, the FI-tadpole is calculated in…
We investigate a cosmological model resulting from a dimensional reduction of the higher-dimensional dRGT massive gravity. By using the Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction, we obtain an effective four-dimensional massive gravity theory with…
Lowering the string scale in the TeV region provides a theoretical framework for solving the mass hierarchy problem and unifying all interactions. The apparent weakness of gravity can then be accounted by the existence of large internal…
Universal extra dimensions, presumably observable at some high-energy scale, would modify low-energy observables, being particularly relevant for physical processes forbidden at tree level by the Standard Model. We address the Kaluza-Klein…
Effective field theories with (large) extra dimensions are studied within a physical regularization scheme provided by string theory. Explicit string calculations then allow us to consistently analyze the ultraviolet sensitivity of…
We derive four-dimensional effective theories for warped compactification of the ten-dimensional IIB supergravity. We show that these effective theories allow a much wider class of solutions than the original higher-dimensional theories.…
We explore the classical Regge growth conjecture in the 4d effective field theory that results from compactifying $D$-dimensional General Relativity on a compact, Ricci-flat manifold. While the higher dimensional description is given in…
In Kaluza-Klein compactifications, some symmetries of the higher dimensional theory are preserved in lower dimensions, others are broken, and occasionally, there are symmetry enhancements. The symmetries that are enhanced by toroidal…
In the framework of noncompact Kaluza-Klein theory, we investigate a $(4+1)$-dimensional universe consisting of a $(4+1)$ dimensional Robertson-Walker type metric coupled to a $(4+1)$ dimensional energy-momentum tensor. The matter part…
