Bounds on Extra Dimensions from Binary Pulsars
نویسنده
چکیده
Evidence for gravitational radiation from binary pulsars places constraints on properties of “large” extra dimensions. The size of these extra dimensions must exceed about 37 AU for gravitational radiation to be emitted. Subject headings: string theory — gravitation — relativity Typeset using REVTEX

Stochastic background from extra dimensions
The existence of extra dimensions is a common feature in almost all quantum theories of gravity. These extra dimensions, whose size and number vary from theory to theory, have a signature on the gravitational stochastic background. Here we review the predictions of the individual theories and the hope of revealing such signals with earthbound detectors. PACS number: 04.80.N 1. The stochastic ba...
متن کاملCosmological bounds on large extra dimensions from non - thermal production of Kaluza - Klein modes
The existing cosmological constraints on theories with large extra dimensions rely on the thermal production of the Kaluza-Klein modes of gravitons and radions in the early Universe. Successful inflation and reheating, as well as baryogenesis, typically requires the existence of a TeV-scale field in the bulk, most notably the inflaton. The non-thermal production of KK modes with masses of order...
متن کاملWeakly Warped Extra Dimensions and SN1987A
The neutrino pulse from SN1987A provides one of the most rigourous constraints on models of extra dimensions. Previously, calculations have been done to bound the size of these extra dimensions in the case when the metric was factorizable. Here we consider the case of 2 ‘weakly warped’ extra dimensions. We find that even though weak warping seems only to affect the zero mode this can have a mea...
متن کاملLarge Dimensions and String Physics in Future Colliders
We review the status of low-scale string theories and large extra-dimensions. After an overview on different string realizations, we discuss some of the main important problems and we summarize present bounds on the size of possible extra-dimensions from collider experiments. On leave from Centre de Physique Théorique, Ecole Polytechnique, 91128 Palaiseau, France (unité mixte du CNRS et de l’EP...
