Abstract
Two extra dimensions of micron scale might simultaneously address the gauge and cosmological hierarchy problems. In this paper various observational bounds in scenarios with one and two large extra dimensions are examined, to see if they are compatible with the micron scale. The authors show that consistency with astrophysical observations requires that two extra dimensions of micron scale must not admit isometries, whereby conservation of the extra dimensional momentum is violated, allowing the massive Kaluza–Klein modes of the graviton to decay to other lighter graviton modes. However, to remain consistent with cosmological observations two extra dimensions of micron scale require a delicately fine tuning of the temperature at which the universe enters the radiation dominated epoch. Diving into this fine-tuned scenario the authors also show that primordial black holes with masses in the range could make all cosmological dark matter.
期刊介绍:
The journal Fortschritte der Physik - Progress of Physics is a pure online Journal (since 2013).
Fortschritte der Physik - Progress of Physics is devoted to the theoretical and experimental studies of fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions e. g. elementary particle physics, classical and quantum field theory, the theory of gravitation and cosmology, quantum information, thermodynamics and statistics, laser physics and nonlinear dynamics, including chaos and quantum chaos. Generally the papers are review articles with a detailed survey on relevant publications, but original papers of general interest are also published.
