We discuss in detail the information on large extra dimensions which can be derived in the framework of stellar evolution theory and observation. The main effect of large extra dimensions arises from the production of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of the graviton. The KK-graviton and matter interactions are of gravitational strength, so the KK states never become thermalized and always free...

We obtain new results for consistent braneworld Kaluza-Klein reductions, showing how we can derive four-dimensional N = 2 gauged supergravity " localised on the AdS 4 brane " as an exact embedding in five-dimensional N = 4 gauged supergravity. Similarly, we obtain five-dimensional N = 2 gauged supergravity localised on an AdS 5 brane as a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction from six-dimensional N...

We consider the problem of gravitational forces between point particles on the branes in a Randall-Sundrum (R-S) two brane model with S 1 /Z 2 symmetry. Matter is assumed to produce a perturbation to the R-S vacuum metric and all the 5D Einstein equations are solved to linearized order (for arbitrary matter on both branes). We show that while the gauge condition h i5 = 0, i = 0, 1, 2, 3 can alw...

We examine the effects of boundary kinetic terms in the Randall-Sundrum model with gauge fields in the bulk. We derive the resulting gauge Kaluza-Klein (KK) state wavefunctions and their corresponding masses, as well as the KK gauge field couplings to boundary fermions, and find that they are modified in the presence of the boundary terms. In particular, for natural choices of the parameters, t...

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...

We study a stochastic formalism for a nonperturbative treatment of the infla-ton field in the framework of a noncompact Kaluza-Klein (KK) theory during an inflationary (de Sitter) expansion, without the slow-roll approximation.

Path and path deviation equations for charged, spinning and spinning charged objects in different versions of Kaluza-Klein (KK) theory using a modified Bazanski Lagrangian have been derived. The significance of motion in five dimensions, especially for a charged spinning object, has been examined. We have also extended the modified Bazanski approach to derive the path and path deviation equatio...

Relic abundance of dark matter is investigated in the framework of universal extra dimension models with right-handed neutrinos. These models are free from the serious Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton problem that the original universal extra dimension model has. The first KK particle of the right-handed neutrino is a candidate for dark matter in this framework, and its relic abundance is determined ...
