Gravitational interaction in quantum theory (81V17) Kaluza-Klein and other higher-dimensional theories (83E15) String and superstring theories in gravitational theory (83E30)

Abstract: We consider the Kaluza-Klein (KK) scenario in which only gravity exists in the bulk. Without the assumption of symmetric connection, the presence of brane fermions induces torsion. The result is a universal axial contact interaction that dominates those induced by KK gravitons. This enhancement arises from a large spin density on the brane. Using a global fit to Z-pole observables, we find the 3 sigma bound on the scale of quantum gravity to be 28 TeV for n=2. If Dirac or light sterile neutrinos are present, the data from SN1987A increase the bound to sqrt{n}M_S >= 210 TeV.
