Homogeneity, flatness, and "large" extra dimensions.
We consider a model in which the Universe is the direct product of an ordinary (3+1)-dimensional space--a brane where all the standard model fields are confined-and a compact hyperbolic manifold. The decay of massive Kaluza-Klein modes leads to the injection of bulk entropy into the observable Universe. The large statistical averaging inherent in the collapse of the initial entropy onto the bra...
متن کاملExtra dimensions present a new flatness problem
There is no known fundamental reason to demand as a cosmological initial condition that the bulk possess an SO(3, 1) isometry. On the contrary, one expects bulk curvature terms that violate the SO(3, 1) isometry at early epochs, leading to a violation of Lorentz invariance on our brane. Demanding that the Lorentz noninvariant terms are small leads to a new “flatness” problem, not solved by the ...
متن کاملLarge hierarchy from extra dimensions
We argue that the familiar gauge hierarchy between the fundamental Planck scale MP l and the electroweak scaleMW , can be naturally explained in higher dimensional theories with relatively large radii (Rc > 1/MP l) extra dimensions. In particular, we show that it is possible that the electroweak Higgs mass at high energies is of the order of MP l, but radiative corrections drive it to an infrar...
متن کاملNeutrino oscillations and large extra dimensions
Assuming that right-handed neutrinos exist and propagate in some large extra dimensions, we attempt to give a comprehensive description of the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations. A few alternative explanations of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly emerge, different from the standard νμ → ντ or νμ → νsterile interpretations. Constraints from nucleosynthesis and supernova 1987a are discussed. T...
متن کاملLarge Extra Dimensions and the Minimal Length
Large extra dimensions lower the Planck scale to values soon accessible. Motivated by String Theory, the models of large extra dimensions predict a vast number of new effects in the energy range of the lowered Planck scale, among them the production of TeV-mass black holes and gravitons. But not only is the Planck scale the energy scale at which effects of modified gravity become important. Str...
