We consider the novel Kaluza-Klein (KK) scenario where gravity propagates in the $4+n$ dimensional bulk of spacetime, while gauge and matter fields are confined to the 3+1 dimensional world-volume of a brane configuration. For simplicity we assume compactification of the extra $n$ dimensions on a torus with a common scale $R$, and identify the massive KK states in the four-dimensional spacetime. For a given KK level $\vec{n}$ there are one spin-2 state, $(n-1)$ spin-1 states and $n(n-1)/2$ spin-0 states, all mass-degenerate. We construct the effective interactions between these KK states and ordinary matter fields (fermions, gauge bosons and scalars). We find that the spin-1 states decouple and that the spin-0 states only couple through the dilaton mode. We then derive the interacting Lagrangian for the KK states and Standard Model fields, and present the complete Feynman rules. We discuss some low energy phenomenology for these new interactions for the case when 1/R is small compared to the electroweak scale, and the ultraviolet cutoff of the effective KK theory is on the order of 1 TeV.

  1. The Dark Dimension meets the Axiverse

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Dark dimension dark matter can evade decay constraints if N≳50 axion KK towers share the tower energy, diluting Standard Model energy injection by roughly 1/N.

  2. Homotopy transfer for massive Kaluza-Klein modes

    An algorithm based on homotopy transfer in L∞ algebras produces gauge-invariant fields for massive Kaluza-Klein modes that remain covariant under unbroken zero-mode gauge transformations.

  3. A covariant description of the interactions of axion-like particles and hadrons

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A covariant framework identifies redefinition-invariant ALP couplings to gluons and quarks and computes physical decay rates for mixed scenarios.

  4. New Energy-Loss Constraints on Dark Sectors from Deeply Inelastic Scattering with Initial State Radiation

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A factorization-based method is outlined to derive energy-loss constraints on dark sector particles (spin 0 to 2) from ISR-modified lepton distributions in DIS, illustrated for MeV-GeV spin-0 cases at the EIC.

    Negative curvature sustains tracker-like radion evolution in a 5D open FRW universe, enabling trapping into a compactified vacuum via Casimir and Kaluza-Klein thermal effects before 4D inflation dilutes curvature remnants.

    In ADD models with n large extra dimensions, gravity-mediated DM-nucleon interactions scale as m_p m_χ M_*^{-4} and resonant annihilation as ⟨σv⟩ ~ m_χ^n M_*^{-n-2}, yielding bounds on {m_χ, M_*} from Xe direct detect...

    Proposes a post-inflation cosmological evolution in large-extra-dimension models that prevents bulk graviton overproduction up to reheating while preserving scale-invariant perturbations for 1-2 micron-sized dimensions.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In a 5D open FRW model, negative curvature sustains tracker-like radion evolution that enables dynamical compactification via Casimir stabilization before 4D inflation dilutes curvature remnants.
