Kaluza-klein Reduction of Conformally Flat Spaces
A “conformal tensor” is constructed from the metric tensor gMN (or Vielbein e A M ) and is invariant against Weyl rescaling gMN → egMN (or eM → eeM ). Moreover, it vanishes if and only if the space is conformally flat, gMN = e ηMN (or e A M = eδ M ). In dimension four or greater the conformal tensor is the Weyl tensor. In three dimensions the Weyl tensor vanishes identically, while the Cotton t...
متن کاملConformally flat Kaluza-Klein spaces, pseudo-/para-complex space forms and generalized gravitational kinks
The equations describing the Kaluza-Klein reduction of conformally flat spaces are investigated in arbitrary dimensions. Special classes of solution related to pseudoKähler and para-Kähler structures are constructed and classified according to spacetime dimension, signature and gauge field rank. Remarkably, rank two solutions include gravitational kinks together with their centripetal and centr...
متن کاملKaluza-Klein towers in the early universe: Phase transitions, relic abundances, and applications to axion cosmology
We study the early-universe cosmology of a Kaluza-Klein (KK) tower of scalar fields in the presence of a mass-generating phase transition, focusing on the time development of the total tower energy density (or relic abundance) as well as its distribution across the different KK modes. We find that both of these features are extremely sensitive to the details of the phase transition and can beha...
متن کاملColliding Kaluza-Klein Bubbles
We construct an exact solution describing the collision of two Kaluza-Klein “bubbles of nothing” in 3+1 dimensions. When the bubbles collide, a curvature singularity forms which is hidden inside an event horizon. However, unlike the formation of ordinary black holes, in this case the spacetime resembles the entire maximally extended Schwarzschild solution. We also point out that there are inequ...
متن کاملSchwinger meets Kaluza-Klein
We study Schwinger pair creation of charged Kaluza-Klein particles from a static KK electric field. We find that the gravitational backreaction of the electric field on the geometry – which is incorporated via the electric KK Melvin solution – prevents the electrostatic potential from overcoming the rest mass of the KK particles, thus impeding the tunneling mechanism which is often thought of a...
