[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00080.] The authors summarize the paper as follows: ``The purpose of this paper is to consider Kaluza-Klein theories combined with the Riemannian submersion. The compactification of the extra dimensions is produced spontaneously by a scalar sector in the form of a nonlinear sigma model. It is shown that the existence of some vertical Killing vectors on the extra space can generate massless gauge bosons. Explicit examples are constructed taking for the extra dimensional space an even dimensional generalized Hopf manifold or an odd dimensional manifold of cosymplectic type.
