Phenomenological gravitational constraints on strings and higher-dimensional theories
Abstract
We investigate measurable gravitational and cosmological effects in four dimensions that can arise from the compactification of higher-dimensional theories incorporating gravity. We identify the nature of effects due to massless scalar components of the compactified higher-dimensional metric and due to modifications of cosmological dynamics. Current experimental data impose constraints on the viability of many higher-dimensional theories, including Kaluza-Klein, supergravity, and string theories. The phenomenological problems can be avoided if the components of the metric in the higher dimensions acquire an effective mass. We survey some possible mechanisms for mass generation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
