Multidimensional Gravity with Einstein Internal Spaces

TL;DR

This paper investigates multidimensional Einstein space models, analyzing their mathematical structure and solutions, revealing that certain solutions are nonsingular in Euclidean signatures but develop singularities in non-Euclidean signatures.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of multidimensional Einstein spaces, explores the integrability of associated Toda-like systems, and constructs explicit nonsingular solutions for specific dimensions.

Findings

Euclidean Toda-like systems do not satisfy the Adler-van-Moerbeke criterion.

Explicit nonsingular spherically symmetric solutions are found for dimensions 10, 11, and 12.

Solutions exhibit divergences in Riemann tensor squared under non-Euclidean signatures.

Abstract

A multidimensional gravitational model on the manifold $M = M_0 \times \prod_{i=1}^{n} M_i$, where M_i are Einstein spaces ($i \geq 1$), is studied. For $N_0 = dim M_0 > 2$ the $\sigma$ model representation is considered and it is shown that the corresponding Euclidean Toda-like system does not satisfy the Adler-van-Moerbeke criterion. For $M_0 = R^{N_0}$, $N_0 = 3, 4, 6$ (and the total dimension $D = dim M = 11, 10, 11$, respectively) nonsingular spherically symmetric solutions to vacuum Einstein equations are obtained and their generalizations to arbitrary signatures are considered. It is proved that for a non-Euclidean signature the Riemann tensor squared of the solutions diverges on certain hypersurfaces in $R^{N_0}$.
