The global stability of the Kaluza–Klein spacetime
Open accessAbstract
In this paper, we show the classical global stability of the flat Kaluza–Klein spacetime, which corresponds to Minkowski spacetime in \mathbb{R}^{1+4} with one direction compactified on a circle. We consider small perturbations which are allowed to vary in all directions including the compact direction. These perturbations lead to the creation of massless modes and Klein–Gordon modes. On the analytic side, this leads to a PDE system coupling wave equations to an infinite sequence of Klein–Gordon equations with different masses. The techniques we use are based purely in physical space using the vector field method. In addition to Kaluza–Klein stability, our techniques can be easily adapted to provide a new proof of the stability of the Minkowski solution to the Einstein–Klein–Gordon equations.

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.
