| Jan 11, 2023 at 16:24 | comment | added | Bastam Tajik | @ACuriousMind honestly I just am deeply in trouble with these extra compact dimensions. I'd appreciate if you share some articles that introduce some dynamics maybe within string theory itself or maybe analyze these aspects of compact dimensions. Why the aperture of these small windows remain open at small sizes or does not fluctuate? | |
| Jan 11, 2023 at 15:38 | comment | added | ACuriousMind♦ | Why would they "collapse"? Under which dynamics do they need to be stable? When we do dimensional reduction/compactification, the compact part is in general not dynamic (although there certainly are specific models in which it is), i.e. doesn't change at all, we're just reducing the theory on a static spacetime background. Is there some specific theory you're thinking about here where the compactification manifold is dynamic? | |
