Title

Stabilization Of Extra Dimensions In Nonlinear Multidimensional Gravity With Multiple Factor Spaces
Coauthors Bronnikov, Kirill

Abstract

In multidimensional Kaluza–Klein gravity with nonlinear curvature terms and two spherical extra spaces of dimensions m and n, we study the properties of an effective action for the scale factors of extra dimensions. Dimensional reduction leads to an effective 4D multiscalar-tensor theory. Based on qualitative estimates of the Casimir energy contribution at a physically reasonable length scale, we demonstrate the existence of such sets of the initial parameters of the theory in the case m = n that provide a minimum of the effective potential at this scale which yields a fine-tuned value of the effective 4D cosmological constant. The corresponding size of extra dimensions depends of which conformal frame is interpreted as the observational one: it is about three orders of magnitude larger than the standard Planck length if we adhere to the Einstein frame, but it is n-dependent in the Jordan frame, and its invisibility requirement restricts the total dimension to values D = 4 + 2n ≤ 20.
