Observational constraints on Kaluza-Klein models with $d$-dimensional spherical compactification    [PDF]

Maxim Eingorn, Seyed Hossein Fakhr, Alexander Zhuk

We investigate Kaluza-Klein models in the case of spherical compactification of the internal space with an arbitrary number of dimensions. The gravitating source has the dust-like equation of state in the external/our space and an arbitrary equation of state (with the parameter $\Omega$) in the internal space. We get the perturbed (up to $O(1/c^2)$) metric coefficients. For the external space, these coefficients consist of two parts: the standard general relativity expressions plus the admixture of the Yukawa interaction. This admixture takes place only for some certain condition which is equivalent to the condition for the internal space stabilization. We demonstrate that the mass of the Yukawa interaction is defined by the mass of the gravexciton/radion. In the Solar system, the Yukawa mass is big enough for dropping the admixture of this interaction and getting good agreement with the gravitational tests for any value of $\Omega$. However, the gravitating body acquires the effective relativistic pressure in the external space which vanishes only in the case of tension $\Omega=-1/2$ in the internal space.
