We investigate the presence of massless scalar fields in a Kaluza—Klein theory based on a dimensionally continued Euler-form action. We show that massless scalar fields exist provided that the internal space is a direct product of two irreducible manifolds. The condition of a vanishing effective four-dimensional cosmological constant and the presence of a graviton, gauge fields and massless scalar fields can be satisfied if both irreducible manifolds have odd dimensions and the sum of these dimensions is equal to the dimension of the Euler form.

We consider an internal space of two discrete points in the fifth dimension of the Kaluza–Klein theory by using the formalism of noncommutative geometry — developed in a previous paper1 — of a spacetime supplemented by two discrete points. With the non-vanishing internal torsion two-form there are no constraints implied on the vielbeins. The theory contains a pair of tensor fields, a pair of vector fields and a pair of scalar fields. Using the generalized Cartan structure equation we are able to uniquely determine not only the Hermitian and metric-compatible connection one-forms, but also the nonvanishing internal torsion two-form in terms of vielbeins. The resulting action has a rich and complex structure, a particular feature being the existence of massive modes. Thus the nonvanishing internal torsion generates a Kaluza–Klein type model with zero and massive modes.

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.

First, we review some attempts made to find the exact spherically symmetric solutions to Einstein field equations in the presence of scalar fields. Wyman's solution in both the static and the nonstatic scalar field is discussed, and it is shown why in the case of the nonstatic homogenous matter field the static metric cannot be represented in terms of elementary functions. We mention here that if the space–time is static, according to field equations, there are two options for fixing the scalar field: static (time-independent) and nonstatic (time-dependent). All these solutions are limited to the minimally coupled massless scalar fields and also in the absence of the cosmological constant. Then we show that if we are interested to have homogenous isotropic scalar field matter, we can construct a series solution in terms of the scalar field's mass and cosmological constant. This solution is static and possesses a locally flat case as a special choice of the mass of the scalar field and can be interpreted as an effective vacuum. Therefore, the mass of the scalar field eliminates any locally gravitational effect as tidal forces. Finally, we describe why this system is unstable in the language of dynamical systems.

Recent developments in Kaluza-Klein theory are reviewed. Starting with the concept of spontaneous compactification, the problem of determining the ground state geometry and its symmetry is discussed. While it is generally believed that only the zero modes can be relevant for low energy physics, it is possible in some cases to deduce the entire excitation spectrum. This is true when the internal space is a coset space. A technique is described for setting up harmonic expansions on coset spaces. Consistency in chiral Kaluza-Klein theories demands freedom from both gauge and gravitational anomalies. General features of the chiral anomalies are reviewed.

Quantum creation of universes is considered within the framework of linear D-dimensional third quantized gravity with non-abelian gauge fields. It is shown that the number density of universes is infinitely peaked up on a sequence of compactified universes Sn+1×Id, where dimensionality of compact internal space Id takes values d=0, 1, …, D−3 and effective n+1-dimensional cosmological constant tends to zero, Sn+1→Mn+1.

Hierarchy Problems

Extradimensional models are achieving their highest popularity nowadays, among other reasons, because they can plausible explain some standard cosmology issues, such as the cosmological constant and hierarchy problems. In extradimensional models, we can infer that the four-dimensional matter rises as a geometric manifestation of the extra coordinate. In this way, although we still cannot see the extra dimension, we can relate it to physical quantities that are able to exert such a mechanism of matter induction in the observable universe. In this work we propose that scalar fields are those physical quantities. The models here presented are purely geometrical no matter the fact that Lagrangian is assumed and even the scalar fields are contained in the extradimensional metric. The results are capable of describing different observable cosmic features and yield an alternative to ultimately understand the extra dimension and the mechanism in which it is responsible for the creation of matter in the observable universe.

String Worldsheet

All the models of elementary particles and their interactions derived from String Theory involve a compact six-dimensional internal space. Its volume and shape should be fixed or stabilized, since otherwise massless scalar fields (moduli) reflecting their deformations appear in our four-dimensional space–time, with sizable effects on known particles and fields. We propose a strategy toward stabilizing the compact space without fluxes of three-form fields from closed strings. Our main motivation and goal is to proceed insofar as possible within conventional string worldsheet theory. As we shall see, D-branes with magnetic flux ("magnetized D-branes") and the forces between them can be used to this end. We investigate here some necessary ingredients: open string one-loop vacuum amplitudes between magnetized D-branes, magnetized D-branes fixed at orbifold singularities, and potential energies among such D-branes in the compact space that result from tree-level closed string exchanges.
