The standard topological censorship theorems require asymptotic hypotheses which are too restrictive for several situations of interest. In this paper we prove a version of topological censorship under significantly weaker conditions, compatible e.g. with solutions with Kaluza-Klein asymptotic behavior. In particular we prove simple connectedness of the quotient of the domain of outer communications by the group of symmetries for models which are asymptotically flat, or asymptotically anti-de Sitter, in a Kaluza-Klein sense. This allows one, e.g., to define the twist potentials needed for the reduction of the field equations in uniqueness theorems. Finally, the methods used to prove the above are used to show that weakly trapped compact surfaces cannot be seen from Scri.

A new spherically-symmetric solution is determined in a noncompactified Kaluza-Klein theory in which a time character is ascribed to the fifth coordinate. This solution contains two independent parameters which are related with mass and electric charge. The solution exhibits a Schwarzschild radius and represents a generalization of the Schwarzschild solution in four dimensions. The parameter of the solution connected with the electric charge depends on the derivative of the fifth (second time) coordinate with respect to the ordinary time coordinate. It is shown that the perihelic motion in four-dimensional relativity has a counterpart in five dimensions in the perinucleic motion of a negatively-charged particle. If the quantization conditions of the older quantum theory are applied to that motion, an analogue of the fine-structure formula of atomic spectra is obtained.
We study teleparallel gravity in the emph{original} Kaluza-Klein (KK) scenario. Our calculation of the KK reduction of teleparallel gravity indicates that the 5-dimensional torsion scalar $^{(5)}T$ generates the non-Brans-Dicke type effective Lagrangian in 4-dimension due to an additional coupling between the derivative of the scalar field and torsion, but the result is equivalent to that in general relativity. We also discuss the cosmological behavior in the FLRW universe based on the effective teleparallel gravity.
We perform the 4-dimensional Kaluza-Klein (KK) reduction of the 5-dimensional locally scale invariant Weyl-Dirac gravity. While compactification unavoidably introduces an explicit length scale into the theory, it does it in such a way that the KK radius can be integrated out from the low energy regime, leaving the KK vacuum to still enjoy local scale invariance at the classical level. Imitating a $U(1)timestilde{U}(1)$ gauge theory, the emerging 4D theory is characterized by a kinetic Maxwell-Weyl mixing whose diagonalization procedure is carried out in detail. In particular, we identify the unique linear combination which defines the 4D Weyl vector, and fully classify the 4D scalar sector. The later consists of (using Weyl language) a co-scalar and two in-scalars. The analysis is performed for a general KK $m$-ansatz, parametrized by the power $m$ of the scalar field which factorizes the 4D metric. The no-ghost requirement, for example, is met provided $-frac{1}{2}leq m leq 0$. An $m$-dependent dictionary is then established between the original 5D Brans-Dicke parameter $omega_5$ and the resulting 4D $omega_4$. The critical $omega_5=-frac{4}{3}$ is consistently mapped into critical $omega_4 = -frac{3}{2}$. The KK reduced Maxwell-Weyl kinetic mixing cannot be scaled away as it is mediated by a 4D in-scalar (residing within the 5D Weyl vector). The mixing is explicitly demonstrated within the Einstein frame for the special physically motivated choice of $m=-frac{1}{3}$. For instance, a super critical Brans-Dicke parameter induces a tiny positive contribution to the original (if introduced via the 5-dimensional scalar potential) cosmological constant. Finally, some no-scale quantum cosmological aspects are studied at the universal mini-superspace level.
We prove a uniqueness theorem for stationary $D$-dimensional Kaluza-Klein black holes with $D-2$ Killing fields, generating the symmetry group ${mathbb R} times U(1)^{D-3}$. It is shown that the topology and metric of such black holes is uniquely determined by the angular momenta and certain other invariants consisting of a number of real moduli, as well as integer vectors subject to certain constraints.
We study the shadow of a rotating squashed Kaluza-Klein (KK) black hole and the shadow is found to possess distinct properties from those of usual rotating black holes. It is shown that the shadow for a rotating squashed KK black hole is heavily influenced by the specific angular momentum of photon from the fifth dimension. Especially, as the parameters lie in a certain special range, there is no any shadow for a black hole, which does not emerge for the usual black holes. In the case where the black hole shadow exists, the shadow shape is a perfect black disk and its radius decreases with the rotation parameter of the black hole. Moreover, the change of the shadow radius with extra dimension parameter also depends on the rotation parameter of black hole. Finally, with the latest observation data, we estimate the angular radius of the shadow for the supermassive black hole Sgr $A^{*}$ at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy and the supermassive black hole in $M87$.
