Compactification entails changing a theory with respect to one of its space-time dimensions. Instead of this dimension ranging to infinity, the theory is changed so that this dimension has a finite range, and may be periodic. In the limit where the size of the compact dimension goes to zero, no fields depend on this extra dimension, and the theory is *dimensionally reduced*. Further use for dimensional reduction.
