In theories with large extra dimensions, constraints from cosmology lead to non-trivial lower bounds on the fundamental scale M_F, corresponding to upper bounds on the radii of the compact extra dimensions. These constraints are especially relevant to the case of two extra dimensions, since only if M_F is 10 TeV or less do deviations from the standard gravitational force law become evident at distances accessible to planned sub-mm gravity experiments. By examining the graviton decay contribution to the cosmic diffuse gamma radiation, we derive, for the case of two extra dimensions, a conservative bound M_F > 110 TeV, corresponding to r_2 < 5.1 times 10^-5 mm, well beyond the reach of these experiments. We also consider the constraint coming from graviton overclosure of the universe and derive an independent bound M_F > 6.5 h^(-1/2) TeV, or r_2 < .015 h mm.

  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. Cosmological history after higher dimensional inflation

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.
