Abstract: We consider 5D Kaluza-Klein type cosmological model with the fifth coordinate being a generalization of the invariant ``historical time $au$ of the covariant theory of Horwitz and Piron. We distinguish between vacuum-, off-shell matter-, and on-shell matter-dominated eras as the solutions of the corresponding 5D gravitational field equations, and build an inflationary scenario according to which passage from the off-shell matter-dominated era to the on-shell one occurs, probably as a phase transition. We study the effect of this phase transition on the expansion rate in both cases of local $O(4,1)$ and $O(3,2)$ invariance of the extended $(x^{m}u,au)$ manifold and show that it does not change in either case. The expansion of the model we consider is not adiabatic; the thermodynamic entropy is a growing function of cosmic time for the closed universe, and can be a growing function of historical time for the open and the flat universe. A complete solution of the 5D gravitational field equations is obtained for the on-shell matter-dominated universe. The open and the closed universe are shown to tend asymptotically to the standard 4D cosmological models, in contrast to the flat universe which does not have the corresponding limit. Finally, possible cosmological implications are briefly discussed.

Review text

The authors chose a 5D-Kaluza-Klein type cosmological model to build an inflationary scenario as a phase transition from the off-shell matter dominated era to the on-shell. Some properties are discussed. The expansion is not adiabatic. The thermodynamic entropy is an increasing function of cosmic time for the closed universe, and, for open and flat universes it grows with ``historical time of the covariant theory of \textit{L. P. Horwitz} and \textit{C. Piron} [Helv. Phys. Acta 46 (1973)]. However, the choice of the source term, terms involving matter parameters like density and pressure, the geometry of higher-dimensional theory and like factors which contribute to the evolution of the universe, require subsequent study.
