Using the formal equivalences between Kaluza–Klein gravity, Brans–Dicke theory and general relativity coupled to a massless scalar field, exact solutions obtained in one theory will correspond to analogous solutions in the other two theories. Often exact solutions in one theory are "rediscovered" since theory are not recognized as analogs of the corresponding solutions in one of the other theories. We review here a number of exact solutions in each of the theories, with an emphasis on identifying and presenting the higher-dimensional version of the solutions. We also briefly comment upon the formal equivalence between Kaluza–Klein theory and scalar–tensor theories in general.

Flrw Universe

We consider a massless scalar field, conformally coupled to the Ricci scalar curvature, in the pre-inflation era of a closed FLRW Universe. The scalar field potential can be of the form of the Coleman–Weinberg one-loop potential, which is flat at the origin and drives the inflationary evolution. For positive values of the conformal parameter ξ, less than the critical value ξ c =(1/6), the model admits exact solutions with nonzero minimum scale factor and zero initial Hubble parameter. Thus these solutions can be matched smoothly to the so-called Pre-Big-Bang models. At the end of this pre-inflation era one can match inflationary solutions by specifying the form of the potential and the whole solution is of the class C(1).

The Way

We discuss the stability of the classical bouncing solutions in the general Horndeski theory and beyond Horndeski theory. We restate the no-go theorem, showing that in the general Horndeski theory there are no spatially flat non-singular cosmological solutions which are stable during entire evolution. We show the way to evade the no-go in beyond Horndeski theory and give two specific examples of bouncing solutions, whose asymptotic past and future or both are described by General Relativity (GR) with a conventional massless scalar field. Both solutions are free of any pathologies at all times.

We present explicit formulas which allow one to transform a general solution of the 6D Kaluza–Klein theory compactified on a three-torus into a special solution of the 6D bosonic string theory compactified on a three-torus, as well as into the general solution of the 5D bosonic string theory compactified on a two-torus. We construct a new family of extremal solutions of the 3D chiral equation for the SL(4, R)/SO(4) coset matrix and interpret it in terms of the component fields of these three duality related theories.

Common Features

The new formal analogy between superfluid systems and cosmology, which emerges by taking into account the back-reaction of the vacuum to the quanta of sound waves,1 enables us to put forward some common features between these two different areas of physics. We find the condition that allows us to justify a General Relativity (GR) derivation of the hydrodynamical equation for the superfluid in a four-dimensional space whose metric is the Unruh one.2 Furthermore, we show how, in the particular case taken into account, our hydrodynamical equation can be deduced within a four-dimensional space from the wave equation of a massless scalar field.

Albert Einstein, Lorentz and Minkowski published in 1905 the Theory of Special Relativity and Einstein published in 1915 his field theory of general relativity based on a curved 4-dimensional space-time continuum to integrate the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field in one unified field. Since then the method of Einstein’s unifying field theory has been developed by many others in more than 4 dimensions resulting finally in the well-known 10-dimensional and 11-dimensional “string theory”. String theory is an outgrowth of S-matrix theory, a research program begun by Werner Heisenberg in 1943 (following John Archibald Wheeler‘s(3) 1937 introduction of the S-matrix), picked up and advocated by many prominent theorists starting in the late 1950’s.Theodor Franz Eduard Kaluza (1885-1954), was a German mathematician and physicist well-known for the Kaluza–Klein theory involving field equations in curved five-dimensional space. His idea that fundamental forces can be unified by introducing additional dimensions re-emerged much later in the “String Theory”.The original Kaluza-Klein theory was one of the first attempts to create an unified field theory i.e. the theory, which would unify all the forces under one fundamental law. It was published in 1921 by Theodor Kaluza and extended in 1926 by Oskar Klein. The basic idea of this theory was to postulate one extra compactified space dimension and introduce nothing but pure gravity in a new (1 + 4)-dimensional space-time. Klein suggested that the fifth dimension would be rolled up into a tiny, compact loop on the order of 10-35 [m]The presented "New Unification Theory" unifies Classical Electrodynamics with General Relativity and Quantum Physics

In this research, we have investigated the behavior of massive and massless scalar field (SF) models (normal and phantom) for Kaluza–Klein universe in [Formula: see text] gravity with cosmological term ([Formula: see text]). To obtain field equations, we have used [Formula: see text] model given by Harko et al. [Phys. Rev. D 84, 024020 (2011)] and anisotropy feature of the universe. Finally, we have discussed our results in [Formula: see text] and General Relativity Theory (GRT) with various graphics.
