Path and path deviation equations in Kaluza-Klein type theories: A brief introduction

Abstract

The problem of motion in higher dimensions is an intriguing problem. This can be seen by studing path and path deviation equations for charged, spinning and spinning charged objects in higher dimensions. The significance of motion in higher dimensions may yield some physical implications on the effect of the extra dimension on the current motion. In this approach, we apply the Bazanski method to derive path and path deviation equations for different objects in five dimensions. � 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
