In this brief review, we discuss the viability of a multi-dimensional geometrical theory with one compactified dimension. We discuss the case of a Kaluza–Klein (KK) fifth-dimensional theory, addressing the problem by an overview of the astrophysical phenomenology associated with this five-dimensional (5D) theory. By comparing the predictions of our model with the features of the ordinary (four-dimensional (4D)) Relativistic Astrophysics, we highlight some small but finite discrepancies, expectably detectible from the observations. We consider a class of static, vacuum solutions of free electromagnetic KK equations with three-dimensional (3D) spherical symmetry. We explore the stability of the particle dynamics in these spacetimes, the construction of self-gravitating stellar models and the emission spectrum generated by a charged particle falling on this stellar object. The matter dynamics in these geometries has been treated by a multipole approach adapted to the geometric theory with a compactified dimension.

We present arguments that show why it is difficult to see rich extra dimensions in the universe. Conditions are found where significant size and variation of the extra dimensions in a Kaluza–Klein compactification lead to a black hole in the lower-dimensional theory. The idea is based on the hoop conjecture concerning black hole existence, as well as on the observation that dimensional reduction on macroscopically large, twisted, or highly dynamical extra dimensions contributes positively to the energy density in the lower-dimensional theory and can induce gravitational collapse. A threshold for the size is postulated on the order of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m, whereby extra dimensions of length above this level must lie inside black holes, thus cloaking them from the view of outside observers. The threshold depends on the size of the universe, leading to speculation that in the early stages of evolution truly macroscopic and large extra dimensions would have been visible.

First, the Coset Space Dimensional Reduction scheme and the best particle physics model so far resulting from it are reviewed. Then, a higher-dimensional theory in which the extra dimensions are fuzzy coset spaces is described and a dimensional reduction to four-dimensional theory is performed. Afterwards, another scheme including fuzzy extra dimensions is presented, but this time the starting theory is four-dimensional while the fuzzy extra dimensions are generated dynamically. The resulting theory and its particle content is discussed. Besides the particle physics models discussed above, gravity theories as gauge theories are reviewed and then, the whole methodology is modified in the case that the background spacetimes are noncommutative. For this reason, specific covariant fuzzy spaces are introduced and, eventually, the program is written for both the 3-d and 4-d cases.

Kaluza-Klein model on M4×S1 with SU (N) gauge fields and Nf fermions in fundamental representation is considered. It is noted that on one-loop level the lowest state of this theory corresponds to effective four-dimensional theory which has no massless fermions. This statement does not depend on fermion boundary conditions. The state with mass-less four-dimensional fermions is metastable. It is shown that this metastable states can be stabilized by effects of classical gravitation. The same problem of metastability of states with zero fermionic modes can appear in more realistic superstring compactification models and these effects of classical gravitation can resolve this problem of metastability.

In this work we investigate the five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory with a scalar field contained in the metric, where a Dirac-field is coupled to the metric field. We find that in the four-dimensional theory a nontrivial ground state for the scalar field exists and therefore the mass term in the Dirac equation can be interpreted, for example, as the electron mass.
