We propose an alternative dimensional reduction prescription which in respect with Green functions corresponds to drop the extra spatial coordinate. From this, we construct the dimensionally reduced Lagrangians both for scalars and fermions, discussing bosonization and supersymmetry in the particular 2-dimensional case. We argue that our proposal is in some situations more physical in the sense...

We show that the dynamical contraction of n "internal" spacelike dimensions leads, in general, to the formation of a cosmic graviton background, similar to that produced by innation. By using a simple phenomenological model we discuss how to obtain information and constraints on the total number of extra dimensions, on their compactiication scale and on the kinematics of the dimensional reducti...
