چکیده

We present some global properties of Kaluza-Klein metrics. We state that the Kaluza-Klein metrics associated to globally hyperbolic spacetimes are globally hyperbolic. Applications to the solutions of the relativistic Lorentz equation are shown. (~) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We investigate Kaluza-Klein metrics with a recurrent lightlike vector field over a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (B, g).

Causal Anomalies in Kaluza-Klein Gravity Theories

Causal anomalies in two Kaluza-Klein gravity theories are examined, particularly as to whether these theories permit solutions in which the causality principle is violated. It is found that similarly to general relativity the field equations of the space-time-mass Kaluza-Klein (STM-KK) gravity theory do not exclude violation of causality of Gödel type, whereas the induced matter Kaluza-Klein (I...

A note on Klein-Gordon equation in a generalized Kaluza-Klein monopole background

We investigate solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in a class of five dimensional geometries presenting the same symmetries and asymptotic structure as the Gross-Perry-Sorkin monopole solution. Apart from globally regular metrics, we consider also squashed Kaluza-Klein black holes backgrounds.

Kaluza - Klein Consistency , Killing Vectors and Kähler Spaces

We make a detailed investigation of all spaces Q q 1 ···q N n 1 ···n N of the form of U (1) bundles over arbitrary products i CP n i of complex projective spaces, with arbitrary winding numbers q i over each factor in the base. Special cases, including Q 11 11 (sometimes known as T 11), Q 111 111 and Q 32 21 , are relevant for compactifications of type IIB and D = 11 supergravity. Remarkable " ...

Consistent Warped - Space Kaluza - Klein Reductions , Half - Maximal Gauged Supergravities and CP n Constructions

We obtain new consistent Kaluza-Klein embeddings of the gauged supergravities with half of maximal supersymmetry in dimensions D = 7, 6, 5 and 4. They take the form of warped embeddings in type IIA, type IIB, M-theory and type IIB respectively, and are obtained by performing Kaluza-Klein circle reductions or T-duality transformations on Hopf fibres in S 3 submanifolds of the previously-known sp...
