Dynamics of dimensional reduction
Abstract
In d-dimensional unified theories that, along with gravity, contain an antisymmetric tensor field of rank s-1, preferential compactification of d- s or of s space-like dimensions is found to occur. This is the case in 11-dimensional supergravity where s = 4.
