An Early Proposal of "Brane World"

摘要: Here we place the TeX-typeset version of old preprint SMC-PHYS-66 (1982), which was published in K. Akama, "Pregeometry", Lecture Notes Physics, 176, Gauge Theory and Gravitation, Proceedings, Nara, 1982, edited by Kikkawa, N. Nakanishi H. Nariai, (Springer-Verlag) 267--271. In paper, presented picture that live a "brane world" (in present-day terminology) i.e. dynamically localized 3-brane higher dimensional space. We adopt, as an example, dynamics Nielsen-Olesen vortex type six spacetime to localize our space-time within 3-brane. At low energies, everything is trapped 3-brane, Einstein gravity induced through fluctuations The idea important because it provides way basically distinct from "compactification" hide extra dimensions become necessary for various theoretical reasons.
