In the paper, multidimensional anisotropic metric and density of vacuum energy in the Kasner's model are investigated. It is shown that the presence of scalar field in model is equivalent to metric in the spacetime with additional dimensions and we propose the idea of generating additional dimensions by massless scalar field. We propose a method of renormalization of metric that describes conversion from spacetime with scalar field to higher-dimensional spacetime. We obtain the expression for cosmological constant which depends on the initial conditions for anisotropic metric coefficients. Using the method of Bogolubov, we investigate the influence of anisotropic metric onto the cosmological birth of particles and obtain the effective mass of scalar field depending on the cosmological constant.

AbstractWe analytically investigate the quasinormal modes of the massive scalar field with a nonminimal coupling in the higher-dimensional de Sitter black hole with a single rotation. According to the separated scalar field equation, the boundary conditions of quasinormal modes are well constructed at the outer and cosmological horizons. Then, under near-extremal conditions, where the outer horizon closes to the cosmological horizon, the quasinormal frequencies are obtained and generalized to universal form in the higher-dimensional spacetime. Here, the real part of the frequency includes the scalar field contents, and its imaginary part only depends on the surface gravity at the outer horizon of the black hole.

We discuss the role that non-Riemannian geometries might play in the formulation of modern higher-dimensional spacetime theories. Among the vast number of non-Riemannian geometries we consider the two simplest ones: Weyl geometry and Riemann-Cartan geometry. We approach the problem of classical confinement of particles in branes and show how this question may be investigated in the context of the two mentioned geometries. We show that there is a classical analogue of the confinement of fermions induced by a scalar field and the one that might be induced by a Weyl field. In similar fashion we show that the same role may be played by a torsion field.

If string theory is correct, then our observable universe may be a three-dimensional "brane" embedded in a higher-dimensional spacetime. This theoretical scenario should be tested via the state-of-the-art in gravitational experiments — the current and upcoming gravity-wave detectors. Indeed, the existence of extra dimensions leads to oscillations that leave a spectroscopic signature in the gravity-wave signal from black holes. The detectors that have been designed to confirm Einstein's prediction of gravity waves, can in principle also provide tests and constraints on string theory.

In this paper, we report the results of a detailed investigation of the complete time evolution of massless fermion fields propagating in spacetimes of higher-dimensional stringy black hole solutions, obtained from intersecting branes in string/M theory. We write the Dirac equation in D-dimensional spacetime in a form suitable to perform a numerical integration of it, and using a Prony fitting of the time domain data, we determine the quasinormal frequencies that characterize the test field evolution at intermediary times. We also present the results obtained for the quasinormal frequencies using a sixth-order WKB approximation, that are in perfect agreement with the numerical results. The power-law exponents that describe the field relaxation at very late-times are also determined, and we show that they depends upon the dimensionality of spacetime, and are identical to that associated with the relaxation of boson fields for odd dimensions. The dependence of the frequencies and damping factor of the spinor field with the charges of the stringy black hole are studied.

We emphasize that the group-theoretical considerations leading to SO (10) unification of electroweak and strong matter field components naturally extend to spacetime components, providing a truly unified description of all generation degrees of freedoms in terms of a single chiral spin representation of one of the groups SO (13,1), SO (9,5), SO (7,7) or SO (3,11). The realization of these groups as higher-dimensional spacetime symmetries produces unification of all fundamental fermions is a single spacetime spinor.

A multi-dimensional cosmology with FRW type metric having four-dimensional spacetime and d-dimensional Ricci-flat internal space is considered with a higher-dimensional cosmological constant. The classical cosmology in commutative and Doubly Special Relativity–Generalized Uncertainty Principle (DSR–GUP) contexts is studied and the corresponding exact solutions for negative and positive cosmological constants are obtained. In the positive cosmological constant case, it is shown that unlike the commutative as well as GUP cases, in DSR–GUP case both scale factors of internal and external spaces after accelerating phase will inevitably experience decelerating phase leading simultaneously to a big crunch. This demarcation from GUP originates from the difference between the GUP and DSR–GUP algebras. The important result is that unlike GUP which results in eternal acceleration, DSR–GUP at first generates acceleration but prevents the eternal acceleration at late-times and turns it into deceleration.
