abstract

We suggest the possibility that in ADD type brane-world scenarios, the higher KK excitations of the graviton may decay to lower ones owing to a breakdown of the conservation of extra dimensional ``momenta'' and study its implications for astrophysics and cosmology. We give an explicit realization of this idea with a bulk scalar field $\Phi$, whose nonzero KK modes acquire vacuum expectation values. This scenario helps to avoid constraints on large extra dimensions that come from gamma ray flux bounds in the direction of nearby supernovae as well as those coming from diffuse cosmological gamma ray background. It also relaxes the very stringent limits on reheat temperature of the universe in ADD models.

  1. The Dark Dimension meets the Axiverse

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Under the Gravitino Conjecture, only one or two large extra dimensions are compatible with a linear scaling between gravitino mass and KK scale in Type II compactifications, implying light gravitino and gauge-mediated...

  3. Breaking Free from the Swampland of Impossible Universes through the DESI Portal

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    DESI data indicating evolving dark energy may allow string theory to describe observed universes without violating swampland constraints on constant dark energy.
