Abstract

It is found the exact solution of the Poisson equation for the multidimensional space with topology M3+d=R3×TdM_{3+d}=\mathbb{R}^3\times T^d. This solution describes smooth transition from the newtonian behavior 1/r31/r_3 for distances bigger than periods of tori (the extra dimension sizes) to multidimensional behavior 1/r3+d1+d1/r^{1+d}_{3+d} in opposite limit. In the case of one extra dimension d=1d=1, the gravitational potential is expressed via compact and elegant formula. It is shown that the corrections to the gravitational constant in the Cavendish-type experiment can be within the measurement accuracy of Newton's gravitational constant GNG_N. It is proposed models where the test masses are smeared over some (or all) extra dimensions. In 10-dimensional spacetime with 3 smeared extra dimensions, it is shown that the size of 3 rest extra dimensions can be enlarged up to submillimeter for the case of 1TeV fundamental Planck scale MPl(10)M_{Pl(10)}. In the models where all extra dimensions are smeared, the gravitational potential exactly coincides with the newtonian one. Nevertheless, the hierarchy problem can be solved in these models.
