Consistency analysis of Kaluza-Klein geometric sigma models
Geometric σ-models are purely geometric theories of scalar fields coupled to gravity. Geometrically, these scalars represent the very coordinates of spacetime, and, as such, can be gauged away. A particular theory is built over a given metric field configuration which becomes the vacuum of the theory. Kaluza-Klein theories of the kind have been shown to be free of the classical cosmological con...
متن کاملKaluza - Klein Monopoles and Gauged Sigma - Models
We propose an effective action for the eleven-dimensional (bosonic) Kaluza-Klein monopole solution. The construction of the action requires that the background fields admit an Abelian isometry group. The corresponding sigma-model is gauged with respect to this isometry. The gauged sigma-model is the source for the monopole solution. A direct (double) dimensional reduction of the action leads to...
متن کاملKaluza-Klein 5D Ideas Made Fully Geometric
After the 1916 success of General relativity that explained gravity by adding time as a fourth dimension, physicists have been trying to explain other physical fields by adding extra dimensions. In 1921, Kaluza and Klein has shown that under certain conditions like cylindricity (∂gij/∂x 5 = 0), the addition of the 5th dimension can explain the electromagnetic field. The problem with this approa...
متن کاملGeometric Bounds on Kaluza-Klein Masses
We point out geometric upper and lower bounds on the masses of bosonic and fermionic Kaluza-Klein excitations in the context of theories with large extra dimensions. The characteristic compactification length scale is set by the diameter of the internal manifold. Based on geometrical and topological considerations, we find that certain choices of compactification manifolds are more favoured for...
متن کاملConsistency of Kaluza-Klein Sphere Reductions of Symmetric Potentials
In a recent paper, the complete (non-linear) Kaluza-Klein Ansatz for the consistent embedding of certain scalar plus gravity subsectors of gauged maximal supergravity in D = 4, 5 and 7 was presented, in terms of sphere reductions fromD = 11 or type IIB supergravity. The scalar fields included in the truncations were the diagonal fields in the SL(N,R)/SO(N) scalar submanifolds of the full scalar...
