Signatures of extra dimensions in gravitational waves

چکیده
Considering gravitational waves propagating on the most general 4+N -dimensional space-time, we investigate the effects due to the N extra dimensions on the fourdimensional waves. All wave equations are derived in general and discussed. On Minkowski4 times an arbitrary Ricci-flat compact manifold, we find: a massless wave with an additional polarization, the breathing mode, and extra waves with high frequencies fixed by Kaluza–Klein masses. We discuss whether these two effects could be observed.

A gravitational wave window on extra dimensions
We report on the possibility of detecting a submillimetre-sized extra dimension by observing gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by pointlike objects orbiting a braneworld black hole. Matter in the ‘visible’ universe can generate a discrete spectrum of high frequency GWs with amplitudes moderately weaker than the predictions of general relativity (GR), while GW signals generated by matter on a ‘s...
متن کاملGravitational waves from mesoscopic dynamics of the extra dimensions
Recent models which describe our world as a brane embedded in a higher dimensional space introduce new geometrical degrees of freedom, associated with spatial variations in the position of the brane and the size of the extra dimensions, that can be coherently excited by symmetry breaking in the early universe even on "mesoscopic" scales as large as 1 mm. The characteristic frequency and intensi...
متن کاملEchoing the extra dimension
We study the propagating gravitational waves as a tool to probe the extra dimensions. In the set-up with one compact extra dimension and non-gravitational physics resigning on the 4-dimensional subspace (brane) of 5-dimensional spacetime we find the Green’s function describing the propagation of 5-dimensional signal along the brane. The Green’s function has a form of the sum of contributions fr...
متن کاملSignatures of gravitational fixed points at the LHC
We study quantum-gravitational signatures at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the context of theories with extra spatial dimensions and a low fundamental Planck scale in the TeV range. Implications of a gravitational fixed point at high energies are worked out using Wilson’s renormalisation group. We find that relevant cross-sections involving virtual gravitons become finite. Based on gravita...
