Five-dimensional Physics: Classical And Quantum Consequences Of Kaluza-klein Cosmology

Extra dimensions — beyond space and time — are the best methods for unifying gravity with particle physics. The basic extension is to five dimensions (5D), as in the induced-matter and membrane theory. This descriptive text gives an up-to-date account of the classical and quantum consequences of 5D physics. It includes topics that range from Einstein''s original theory of relativity to modern view...
