In this paper we imitate the traditional method which is used customarily in the General Relativity and some mathematical literatures to derive the Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci equations for dimensional reduction. It would be more distinct…

Many features of dimensional reduction schemes are determined by the breaking of higher dimensional general covariance associated with the selection of a particular subset of coordinates. By investigating residual covariance we introduce…

Many theories of quantum gravity live in higher dimensions, and their reduction to four dimensions via mechanisms such as Kaluza-Klein compactification or brane world models have associated problems. We propose a novel mechanism of…

Within the framework of a Kaluza-Klein theory, we provide the geometrization of a generic (Abelian and non-Abelian) gauge coupling, which comes out by choosing a suitable matter fields dependence on the extra-coordinates. We start by the…

In this contribution we present the results of a series of investigations of dimensional reduction, applied to SU(3) gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimensions. We review earlier results, present a new reduced model with Z(3) symmetry, and discuss…

In this paper, I explain how gauge symmetry can be broken in a geometric way, \`{a} la Kaluza-Klein. In higher dimensional gravitational theories, one usually considers the extra dimensions to be ``frozen'' in time. However, the internal…

Kaluza-Klein reduction of conformally flat spaces is considered for arbitrary dimensions. The corresponding equations are particularly elegant for the reduction from four to three dimensions. Assuming circular symmetry leads to explicit…

A number of very different approaches to quantum gravity contain a common thread, a hint that spacetime at very short distances becomes effectively two dimensional. I review this evidence, starting with a discussion of the physical meaning…

The notion of spacetime symmetry is essential to describe gravitating physical systems like planets, stars, black holes, or the universe as a whole, since they possess, at least to good approximation, spherical, axial, or spatially…

The connection dynamics of the 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory reduced on 4-dimensional spacetime is obtained by performing the Hamiltonian analysis and canonical transformations. Deparametrization is achieved in the spherically symmetric…

Geometric sigma models are purely geometric theories of scalar fields coupled to gravity. Geometrically, these scalars represent the very coordinates of space-time, and, as such, can be gauged away. A particular theory is built over a given…

We examine gauge theories on Minkowski space-time times fuzzy coset spaces. This means that the extra space dimensions instead of being a continuous coset space S/R are a corresponding finite matrix approximation. The gauge theory defined…

We construct a duality between several simple physical systems by showing that they are different aspects of the same quantum theory. Examples include the free relativistic massless particle and the hydrogen atom in any number of…

We extend the classical general relativistic theory of measurement to include the possibility of existence of higher dimensions. The intrusion of these dimensions in the spacetime interval implies that the inertial mass of a particle in…

Inspired by the five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory, we would like to study the dimensional reduction issue of six-dimensional Kaluza-Klein extension in this paper. In particular, we will examine two possible approaches of dimensional…

A Five dimensional Kaluza-Klein space-time is considered in the presence of a perfect fluid source with variable G and $\Lambda$. An expanding universe is found by using a relation between the metric potential and an equation of state. The…

We discuss a general method of revealing both space-space and space-time noncommuting structures in various models in particle mechanics exhibiting reparametrisation symmetry. Starting from the commuting algebra in the conventional gauge,…

Space-Time in general relativity is a dynamical entity because it is subject to the Einstein field equations. The space-time metric provides different geometrical structures: conformal, volume, projective and linear connection. A deep…

Spacetime inversion symmetries such as parity and time reversal play a central role in physics, but they are usually treated as global symmetries. In quantum gravity there are no global symmetries, so any spacetime inversion symmetries must…

Compactification of the 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein space-time geometry is considered. The space-time geometry is supposed to be discrete, uniform and isotropic. It is shown, that consideration of the space-time geometry as a physical…
