We analyze some unphysical features of the geodesic approach to matter coupling in a compactified Kaluza-Klein scenario, like the q/m puzzle and the huge massive modes. We propose a new approach, based on Papapetrou multipole expansion, that provides a new equation for the motion of a test particle. We show how this equation provides right couplings and does not generate huge massive modes.

A long-standing problem in Kaluza–Klein models is the description of matter dynamics. Within the 5D model, the dimensional reduction of the geodesic motion for a 5D free test particle formally restores electrodynamics, but the reduced 4D particle shows a charge–mass ratio that is upper-bounded, such that it cannot fit in with any kind of elementary particle. At the same time, from the quantum dynamics viewpoint, there is the problem of the generation of huge massive modes. We present a criticism against the 5D geodesic approach and face the hypothesis that in Kaluza–Klein space the geodesic motion does not deal with the real dynamics of the test particle. We propose a new approach: starting from the conservation equation for the 5D matter tensor, within the Papapetrou multipole expansion, we prove that the 5D dynamical equation differs from the 5D geodesic one. Our new equation provides right coupling terms without bounding and in such a scheme the tower of massive modes is removed.

Using the new approach on higher-dimensional Kaluza–Klein theories developed by the first author, we obtain the 4D Einstein equations on a (4 + n)D relativistic gauge Kaluza–Klein space. Adapted frame and coframe fields, adapted tensor fields, and the Riemannian adapted connection, have a fundamental role in the study. The high level of generality of the study, enables us to recover several results from earlier papers on this matter.

A free test particle in five-dimensional Kaluza–Klein space–time will show its electricity in the reduced four-dimensional space–time when it moves along the fifth dimension. In the light of this observation, we study the coupling of a five-dimensional dust field with the Kaluza–Klein gravity. It turns out that the dust field can curve the five-dimensional space–time in such a way that it provides exactly the source of the electromagnetic field in the four-dimensional space–time after the dimensional reduction.

This is the first paper in a series of three papers on a new approach for space-time-matter (STM) theory. The main purpose of this approach is to replace the Levi-Civita connection on the space-time from the classical Kaluza–Klein theory by what we call the Riemannian horizontal connection on the general Kaluza–Klein space. This is done by a development of a 4D tensor calculus whose geometrical objects live in a 5D space. The 4D tensor calculus and the Riemannian horizontal connection enable us to define in a 5D space some 4D differential operators: horizontal differential, horizontal gradient, horizontal divergence and horizontal Laplacian, which have a great role in the presentation of the STM theory in a covariant form. Finally, we introduce and study the horizontal electromagnetic tensor field, the horizontal Ricci tensor and the horizontal Einstein gravitational tensor field, which replace the well-known tensor fields from the classical Kaluza–Klein theory.

Kaluza-Klein model on M4×S1 with SU (N) gauge fields and Nf fermions in fundamental representation is considered. It is noted that on one-loop level the lowest state of this theory corresponds to effective four-dimensional theory which has no massless fermions. This statement does not depend on fermion boundary conditions. The state with mass-less four-dimensional fermions is metastable. It is shown that this metastable states can be stabilized by effects of classical gravitation. The same problem of metastability of states with zero fermionic modes can appear in more realistic superstring compactification models and these effects of classical gravitation can resolve this problem of metastability.

We use a Kaluza–Klein model with variable cosmological and gravitational terms to discuss the nature of galactic entropy function. For this purpose, we assume a universe filled with dark fluid and consider five-dimensional (5D) field equations using the Gamma law equation. We mainly discuss the validity of the first and generalized second laws of galactic thermodynamics for viable Kaluza–Klein models.
