Intersection Democracy for Winding Branes and Stabilization of Extra Dimensions

Abstract

We show that, in the context of pure Einstein gravity, a democratic principle for intersection possibilities of branes winding around extra dimensions in a given partitioning yield stabilization, while what the observed space follows is matter-like dust evolution . Here democracy is used in the sense that, in a given decimation of extra dimensions, all possible wrappings and hence all possible intersections are allowed. Generally, the necessary and sufficient condition for this is that the dimensionality of the observed space dimensions obey $3\leqm \le N$ where is the decimation order of the extra dimensions.

Added a section for linear and non-linear stability analysis of the equilibrium point. Added references. Corrected typos
