Dimensional Reduction by a Two-Form (another alternative to compactification)
P. Maraner
It is shown that the local coupling of a higher dimensional graviton to a closed degenerate two-form produces dimensional reduction by spontaneous breakdown of extra-dimensional tr…

Fermion Quantum Numbers and Families Replication from an Extension of Space-Time Relativity
P. Maraner
The fermionic sector of the Standard Model of Elementary Particles emerges as the low energy limit of a single fermionic field freely propagating in a higher dimensional background…

Effective Dynamics on a Line
P. Maraner
The effective classical/quantum dynamics of a particle constrained on a closed line embedded in a higher dimensional configuration space is analyzed. By considering explicit exampl…
