This paper presents a discussion of the role of quantum effects in Kaluza–Klein theories. It is demonstrated why it is not possible to examine the existence of self-consistent solutions induced by quantum corrections to the classical theory if only the vacuum energy is used. The importance of the induced gravity and induced Yang–Mills terms in the effective action are emphasized. General criteria are given for the existence of self-consistent solutions in certain cases, and an expression is given for the gauge-coupling constant. Quantization of five-dimensional gravity with a cosmological constant is considered. Expressions are given for the constants that multiply the induced gravity and Yang–Mills terms in the one-loop effective action for this theory. Although the theory is one-loop finite, the necessity for performing finite renormalizations—a fact that has hitherto been overlooked—is discussed. Results of an analysis of the stability of self-consistent solutions are given, where it is shown why many of the solutions are unstable to small perturbations. A number of prospects for future work are given.

Several aspects of self-consistent dimensional reduction in Kaluza–Klein theory are addressed. First, the validity of the one-loop approximation in quantum gravity with a cosmological constant is discussed. Second, a distinction is made between mathematical self-consistency and physical self-consistency. Finally, the possible gauge dependence of the physical predictions for the radius and gauge coupling constant is analyzed within the context of recent theorems concerning the gauge invariance of the one-loop gravitational effective action.

A theory in which four-dimensional space–time is generalized to a larger space, namely a 16-dimensional Clifford space (C-space) is investigated. Curved Clifford space can provide a realization of Kaluza–Klein. A covariant Dirac equation in curved C-space is explored. The generalized Dirac field is assumed to be a polyvector-valued object (a Clifford number) which can be written as a superposition of four independent spinors, each spanning a different left ideal of Clifford algebra. The general transformations of a polyvector can act from the left and/or from the right, and form a large gauge group which may contain the group U (1) × SU (2) × SU (3) of the standard model. The generalized spin connection in C-space has the properties of Yang–Mills gauge fields. It contains the ordinary spin connection related to gravity (with torsion), and extra parts describing additional interactions, including those described by the antisymmetric Kalb–Ramond fields.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of topology change in the initial universe. In this study, the concept of G-cobordism is introduced to argue about the topology change of the manifold on which a transformation group acts. This G-manifold has a fiber bundle structure if the group action is free and is related to the spacetime in Kaluza–Klein theory or Einstein–Yang–Mills system. Our results revealed the fundamental processes of compactification in G-manifolds. In these processes, the initial high symmetry and multidimensional universe changes to present universe by the mechanism which lowers the dimensions and symmetries.

We elaborate on our previous work on (N=2)-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In particular, we show how to explicitly determine the low energy quantum effective action for G=SU(3) from the underlying hyperelliptic Riemann surface, and calculate the leading instanton corrections. This is done by solving Picard-Fuchs equations and asymptotically evaluating period integrals. We find that the dynamics of the SU(3) theory is governed by an Appell system of type F4, and compute the exact quantum gauge coupling explicitly in terms of Appell functions.

In this brief review, we discuss the viability of a multi-dimensional geometrical theory with one compactified dimension. We discuss the case of a Kaluza–Klein (KK) fifth-dimensional theory, addressing the problem by an overview of the astrophysical phenomenology associated with this five-dimensional (5D) theory. By comparing the predictions of our model with the features of the ordinary (four-dimensional (4D)) Relativistic Astrophysics, we highlight some small but finite discrepancies, expectably detectible from the observations. We consider a class of static, vacuum solutions of free electromagnetic KK equations with three-dimensional (3D) spherical symmetry. We explore the stability of the particle dynamics in these spacetimes, the construction of self-gravitating stellar models and the emission spectrum generated by a charged particle falling on this stellar object. The matter dynamics in these geometries has been treated by a multipole approach adapted to the geometric theory with a compactified dimension.

In this paper a quantum [Formula: see text] super-Yang–Mills theory perturbed by dilaton-coupled scalars, is considered. The induced effective action for such a theory is calculated on a dilaton-gravitational background using the conformal anomaly found via AdS/CFT correspondence. Considering such an effective action (using the large N method) as a quantum correction to the classical gravity action with cosmological constant we study the effect from dilaton to the scale factor (which corresponds to the inflationary universe without dilaton). It is shown that, depending on the initial conditions for the dilaton, the dilaton may slow down, or accelerate, the inflation process. At late times, the dilaton is decaying exponentially. At the end of this work, we consider the question how the perturbation of the solution for the scale factor affects the stability of the solution for the equations of motion and therefore the stability of the Inflationary Universe, which could be eternal.

We review (mainly) quantum effects in the theories where the gravity sector is described by metric and dilaton. The one-loop effective action for dilatonic gravity in two and four dimensions is evaluated. Renormalization group equations are constructed. The conformal anomaly and induced effective action for 2d and 4d dilaton coupled theories are found. It is applied to the study of quantum aspects of black hole thermodynamics, like calculation of Hawking radiation and quantum corrections to black hole parameters and investigation of quantum instability for such objects with multiple horizons. The use of the above effective action in the construction of nonsingular cosmological models in Einstein or Brans–Dicke (super)gravity and investigation of induced wormholes in supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory are given.5d dilatonic gravity (bosonic sector of compactified IIB supergravity) is discussed in connection with bulk/boundary (or AdS/CFT) correspondence. Running gauge coupling and quark–antiquark potential for boundary gauge theory at zero or nonzero temperature are calculated from d=5 dilatonic anti-de Sitter-like background solution which represents anti-de Sitter black hole for periodic time.

The Continuum

The EPDiff equation (or the dispersionless Camassa–Holm equation in one dimension) is a well-known example of geodesic motion on the Diff group of smooth invertible maps (diffeomorphisms). Its recent two-component extension governs geodesic motion on the semidirect product DiffⓈ , where denotes the space of scalar functions. This paper generalizes the second construction to consider geodesic motion on DiffⓈ , where denotes the space of scalar functions that take values on a certain Lie algebra (e.g. = ⊗ (3)). Measure-valued delta-like solutions are shown to be momentum maps possessing a dual pair structure, thereby extending previous results for the EPDiff equation. The collective Hamiltonians are shown to fit into the Kaluza–Klein theory of particles in a Yang–Mills field and these formulations are shown to apply also at the continuum partial differential equation level. In the continuum description, the Kaluza–Klein approach produces the Kelvin circulation theorem.
