Multidimensional theories still remain attractive from the point of view of better understanding of fundamental interactions. In this paper we present a new static spherically symmetric solution in a six-dimensional Kaluza–Klein theory with a dilaton field. The solution offers a nonperturbative answer to the problem of metric back--reaction due to presence of a dilaton field. The spacetime described in our paper is everywhere regular without event horizon like the Gross–Perry five-dimensional Kaluza–Klein soliton. The presence of massless dilaton field has the same dynamical effect on test particles as the existence of massive matter which opens up the possibility to consider the dilaton field as a candidate for dark matter.

A numerical study of static, spherically symmetric monopole solutions coupled to the dilaton field, inspired by the Kaluza–Klein theory with large extra dimensions is presented. The generalised Prasad?Sommerfield solution is obtained. We show that the monopole may also have the dilaton cloud configurations.

Gravitational Bags are spherically symmetric solutions of higher-dimensional Kaluza Klein (K – K) theories, where the compact dimensions become very large near the center of the geometry, although they are small elsewhere. The K – K excitations therefore become very light when located near the center of this geometry and this appears to affect drastically the naive tower of the masses spectrum of K – K theories. In the context of string theories, string excitations can be enclosed by Gravitational Bags, making them not only lighter, but also localized, as observed by somebody, that does not probe the central regions. Strings, however, can still have divergent sizes, as quantum mechanics seems to demand, since the extra dimensions blow up at the center of the geometry. From a projected 4-D point of view, very massive string bits may lie inside their Schwarzschild radii, as pointed out by Casher, Gravitational Bags however are horizon free objects, so no conflict with macroscopic causality arises if the string excitations are enclosed by Gravitational Bags.

The predictions for the perihelion shift, the deflection of light, and the delay time of a light ray are calculated in the nonsymmetric theory of gravitation. An upper bound for the parameter l (that occurs as a constant of integration in the static, spherically symmetric solution of the field equations) is obtained for the sun for the experimental value of the perihelion shift of Mercury, yielding [Formula: see text]. The upper bound on [Formula: see text] obtained from the Viking spacecraft time-delay experiment is [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], we find that the theory is consistent with the standard relativistic experiments for the solar system. The theory predicts that the perihelion of a satellite could reverse its direction of precession if it orbits close enough to the sun. The results for a highly eccentric satellite orbit are calculated in terms of the value [Formula: see text].
