Outline of the course:
- Motivations
- Kaluza-Klein compactification (one dimension on a circle: scalar, fermion, gauge boson, graviton)
- Coulomb and Newton’s law
- Chirality and orbifolds (one dimension on an interval)
- Generalisations (non-abelian groups, many extra dimensions)
- Branes and braneworld
- Large extra dimensions and low scale gravity
- Experimental signals
- Warped extra dimensions
