Generic cosmological models derived from higher-dimensional theories with warped extra-dimensions have a nonzero cosmological constant-like term induced on the 3 + 1 space–time, or a physical three-brane. In the scenario where this 3 + 1 space–time is an inflating de Sitter "bran" embedded in a higher-dimensional space–time, described by warped geometry, the four-dimensional cosmological term is determined in terms of two length scales: one is a scale associated with the size of extra-dimension(s) and the other is a scale associated with the warping of extra-space(s). The existence of this term in four dimensions provides a tantalizing possibility of explaining the observed accelerating expansion of the universe from fundamental theories of gravity, e.g. string theory.

The existence of a small and positive cosmological constant attributed to gravitational vacuum energy (or dark energy) in the present-day universe appears to be the most pressing obstacle as well as opportunity to significantly improving the models of four-dimensional cosmology from fundamental theories of gravity, including string theory and modern Kaluza-Klein theories. In seeking to resolve this problem, one naturally wonders if the real world can somehow be interpreted as an inflating de Sitter "brane" embedded in a five or even higher-dimensional space-time described by warped or non-factorizable geometry. In this scenario, the four-dimensional cosmological constant may well be determined in terms of two length scales: one is a scale associated with the size of extra dimensions and the other is a scale associated with the expansion rate of the universe, which is also related to the warping of extra spaces.Key words: CosmologyThe Himalayan Physics Vol.1, No.1, May, 2010Page: 18-24Uploaded Date: 28 July, 2011

We have considered the multidimensional cosmological implications of a decay law for the Λ term that is proportional to [Formula: see text], where β is a constant and a is the scale factor of RW-space–time. We discuss the cosmological consequences of a model for the vanishing pressure for the case k = 0. It has been observed that such models are compatible with the result of recent observations and the cosmological term Λ gradually reduces as the universe expands. In this model, Λ varies as the inverse square of time, which matches its natural units. The proper distance, the luminosity distance-redshift, the angular diameter distance-redshift, and look back time-redshift for the model are presented in the framework of higher dimensional space–time. The model of the Freese et al. (Nucl. Phys. B287, 797 (1987)) for n = 2 is retrieved for the particular choice of A0and also the Einstein–de Sitter model is obtained for [Formula: see text]. This work has thus generalized to higher dimensions the well-known result in four-dimensional space–time. It is found that there may be a significant difference, in principle at least, to the analogous situation in four-dimensional space–time.

A Clifford-gravity-based model is exploited to build a generalized action (beyond the current ones used in the literature) and arrive at relevant numerical results which are consistent with the presently-observed de Sitter accelerating expansion of the universe driven by a very small vacuum energy density ρ obs ~ 10-120(MP)4 (MP is the Planck mass) and provide promising dark energy/matter candidates in terms of the 16 scalars corresponding to the degrees of freedom associated with a Cl (3, 1)-algebra-valued scalar field Φ in four dimensions.

We examine the Kaluza–Klein (KK) dimensional reduction from higher dimensional space-time and the properties of the resultant Bergmann–Wagoner general action of scalar–tensor theories. With the analysis of the perturbations, we also investigate the stability of the anti-de Sitter (AdS) space-time in the (D ∈ 𝒩)-dimensional Einstein gravity with the negative cosmological constant. Furthermore, we derive the conditions for the dimensional reduction to successfully be executed and present the KK compactification mechanism.

Objects of more than three dimensions can be used to model geographic phenomena that occur in space, time and scale. For instance, a single 4D object can be used to represent the changes in a 3D object’s shape across time or all its optimal representations at various levels of detail. In this paper, we look at how such higher-dimensional space-time and space-scale objects can be visualised as projections from ℝ4to ℝ3. We present three projections that we believe are particularly intuitive for this purpose: (i) a simple ‘long axis’ projection that puts 3D objects side by side; (ii) the well-known orthographic and perspective projections; and (iii) a projection to a 3-sphere (S3) followed by a stereographic projection to ℝ3, which results in an inwards-outwards fourth axis. Our focus is in using these projections from ℝ4to ℝ3, but they are formulated from ℝnto ℝn−1so as to be easily extensible and to incorporate other non-spatial characteristics. We present a prototype interactive visualiser that applies these projections from 4D to 3D in real-time using the programmable pipeline and compute shaders of the Metal graphics API.

In this work, we establish the exact solutions of some mathematical physics models. The first integral method (FIM) is extended to find the explicit exact solutions of high-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). The considered models are: the space-time modified regularized long wave (mRLW) equation, the (1+2) dimensional space-time potential Kadomtsev Petviashvili (pKP) equation and the (1+2) dimensional space-time coupled dispersive long wave (DLW) system. FIM is a powerful mathematical tool that can be used to obtain the exact solutions of many non-linear PDEs.

We develop a gravitational theory where the measure of integration in the action principle is not necessarily [Formula: see text] but it is determined dynamically through additional degrees of freedom. This theory is based on the demand that such measure respects the principle of "non-gravitating vacuum energy" which states that the Lagrangian density L can be changed to L + const. without affecting the dynamics. Formulating the theory in the first-order formalism we get as a consequence of the variational principle a constraint that enforces the vanishing of the cosmological constant. The most realistic model that implements these ideas is realized in a six or higher dimensional space–time. The compactification of extra dimensions into a sphere gives the possibility of generating scalar masses and potentials, gauge fields and fermionic masses. It turns out that the remaining four-dimensional space–time must have effective zero cosmological constant.

Normed division and Clifford algebras have been extensively used in the past as a mathematical framework to accommodate the structures of the Standard Model and grand unified theories. Less discussed has been the question of why such algebraic structures appear in Nature. One possibility could be an intrinsic complex, quaternionic or octonionic nature of the space–time manifold. Then, an obvious question is why space–time appears nevertheless to be simply parametrized by the real numbers. How the real slices of an higher-dimensional space–time manifold might be almost independent from each other is discussed here. This comes about as a result of the different nature of the representations of the real kinematical groups and those of the extended spaces. Some of the internal symmetry transformations might however appear as representations on homogeneous spaces of the extended group transformations that cannot be implemented on the elementary states.
