In this thesis we study a number of aspects about warped five-dimensional models. We first discuss on the construction of soft-wall models. We provide recipes for constructing consistent models of this kind and address the issue of how the…
The aim of this talk is to provide non-experts with a brief and elementary introduction on the field of extra dimensions. The main motivation for extra dimensions relies on the more fundamental string theories that predict ten (or eleven)…
In this paper we study the relation between six-dimensional supergravity compactified on S^3 X AdS_3 and certain two-dimensional conformal field theories. We compute the Kaluza-Klein spectrum of supergravity using representation theory;…
A central aim of theoretical physics is to account for the structure of matter at the most elementary level as underlying the Standard Model of particle physics, and ideally also as a basis for a substantial dark sector, as distributed in…
Efforts have been made recently to reformulate traditional Kaluza-Klein theory by using a generalized definition of a higher-dimensional extended space-time. Both electromagnetism and gravity have been studied in this context. We review…
We consider the general expressions for the time delay of photons of different energies in the framework of multi-dimensional cosmological models. In models with compactified extra-dimensions (Kaluza-Klein type models), the main source of…
We study the role of the brane-induced graviton kinetic term in theories with large extra dimensions. In five dimensions we construct a model with a TeV-scale fundamental Planck mass and a {\it flat} extra dimension the size of which can be…
We derive a modified dispersion relation for massive particles within the frameworks of five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory and general relativity, taking into account strong gravitational effects. The resulting effective mass depends on…
Models that involve extra dimensions have introduced completely new ways of looking up on old problems in theoretical physics. The aim of the present notes is to provide a brief introduction to the many uses that extra dimensions have found…
We study fluctuations about axisymmetric warped brane solutions in 6D minimal gauged supergravity. Much of our analysis is general and could be applied to other scenarios. We focus on bulk sectors that could give rise to Standard Model…
Given a super-integrable system in $n$ degrees of freedom, possessing an integral which is linear in momenta, we use the "Kaluza-Klein construction" in reverse to reduce to a lower dimensional super-integrable system. We give two examples…
We study a $(4+D)$-dimensional Kaluza-Klein cosmology with a Robertson-Walker type metric having two scale factors $a$ and $R$, corresponding to $D$-dimensional internal space and 4-dimensional universe, respectively. By introducing an…
Two-step dissipation is studied in supersymmetric models in which the field in motion couples to bulk fields in the higher dimensional space. Since the Kaluza-Klein tower of the intermediate field changes its mass-spectrum during the…
We present four-dimensional gauge theories in Minkowski spacetime which effectively generate in certain energy regimes five-dimensional warped geometries whereas, in general, the fifth dimension is latticized. After discussing in detail…
We propose the approach to deriving lower-dimensional limit of modern high-energy theory which does not make explicit use of the Kaluza-Klein scheme and predefined compactification manifolds. The approach is based on the selection principle…
Extra dimension provides an attractive way to break symmetry by boundary conditions which can be useful to construct a natural grand unified theory avoiding the doublet-triplet splitting problem and the proton decay problem. It can provide…
In Kaluza derived theories the electromagnetic potential is interpreted as a part of the metric in a higher dimensional theory of gravity. Here we present a more Yang-Mills like unification of classical electromagnetism and gravity within…
The use in the action integral of a volume element of the form $\Phi d^{D}x$ where $\Phi$ is a metric independent measure can give new interesting results in all types of known generally coordinate invariant theories: (1) 4-D theories of…
It would be extremely useful to know whether a particular low energy effective theory might have come from a compactification of a higher dimensional space. Here, this problem is approached from the ground up by considering theories with…
The introduction of extra dimensions is an invaluable strategy for the unification of gravity with other physical fields. Nevertheless, the matter in hand is to be eventually reduced to the actual 4D spacetime. The Kaluza-Klein theory is no…
