We discuss a realization of a small field inflation based on string inspired supergravities. In theories accompanying extra dimensions, compactification of them with small radii is required for realistic situations. Since the extra dimension can have a periodicity, there will appear (quasi-)periodic functions under transformations of moduli of the extra dimensions in low energy scales. Such a periodic property can lead to a UV completion of so-called multi-natural inflation model where inflaton potential consists of a sum of multiple sinusoidal functions with a decay constant smaller than the Planck scale. As an illustration, we construct a SUSY breaking model, and then show that such an inflaton potential can be generated by a sum of world sheet instantons in intersecting brane models on extra dimensions containing $T^2/{mathbb Z}_2$ orbifold. We show also predictions of cosmic observables by numerical analyzes.

We consider how accelerated expansion, whether due to inflation or dark energy, imposes strong constraints on fundamental theories obtained by compactification from higher dimensions. For theories that obey the null energy condition (NEC), we find th
at inflationary cosmology is impossible for a wide range of compactifications; and a dark energy phase consistent with observations is only possible if both Newtons gravitational constant and the dark energy equation-of-state vary with time. If the theory violates the NEC, inflation and dark energy are only possible if the NEC-violating elements are inhomogeneously distributed in thecompact dimensions and vary with time in precise synchrony with the matter and energy density in the non-compact dimensions. Although our proofs are derived assuming general relativity applies in both four and higher dimensions and certain forms of metrics, we argue that similar constraints must apply for more general compactifications.
The holographic principle asserts that the entropy of a system cannot exceed its boundary area in Planck units. However, conventional quantum field theory fails to describe such systems. In this Letter, we assume the existence of large $n$ extra dime
nsions and propose a relationship between UV and IR cutoffs in this case. We find that if $n=2$, this effective field theory could be a good description of holographic systems. If these extra dimensions are detected in future experiments, it will help to prove the validity of the holographic principle. We also discuss implications for the cosmological constant problem.
We consider a real scalar field with an arbitrary negative bulk mass term in a general 5D setup, where the extra spatial coordinate is a warped interval of size $pi R$. When the 5D field verifies Neumann conditions at the boundaries of the interval,
the setup will always contain at least one tachyonic KK mode. On the other hand, when the 5D scalar verifies Dirichlet conditions, there is always a critical (negative) mass $M_{c}^2$ such that the Dirichlet scalar is stable as long as its (negative) bulk mass $mu^2$ verifies $M^2_{c}<mu^2$. Also, if we fix the bulk mass $mu^2$ to a sufficiently negative value, there will always be a critical interval distance $pi R_c$ such that the setup is unstable for $R>R_c$. We point out that the best mass (or distance) bound is obtained for the Dirichlet BC case, which can be interpreted as the generalization of the Breitenlohner-Freedman (BF) bound applied to a general compact 5D warped spacetime. In particular, in a slice of $AdS_5$ the critical mass is $M^2_{c}=-4k^2 -1/R^2$ and the critical interval distance is given by $1/R_c^2=|mu^2|-4k^2$, where $k$ is the $AdS_5$ curvature (the 5D flat case can be obtained in the limit $kto 0$, whereas the infinite $AdS_5$ result is recovered in the limit $Rto infty$).
We report new constraints on the size of large extra dimensions from data collected by the MINOS experiment between 2005 and 2012. Our analysis employs a model in which sterile neutrinos arise as Kaluza-Klein states in large extra dimensions and thus
modify the neutrino oscillation probabilities due to mixing between active and sterile neutrino states. Using Fermilabs NuMI beam exposure of $10.56 times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target, we combine muon neutrino charged current and neutral current data sets from the Near and Far Detectors and observe no evidence for deviations from standard three-flavor neutrino oscillations. The ratios of reconstructed energy spectra in the two detectors constrain the size of large extra dimensions to be smaller than $0.45,mutext{m}$ at 90% C.L. in the limit of a vanishing lightest active neutrino mass. Stronger limits are obtained for non-vanishing masses.
We demonstrate how one can construct renormalizable perturbative expansion in formally nonrenormalizable higher dimensional field theories. It is based on $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent perturbation theory in arbitrary h
igh space-time dimension. First, we consider a simple example of $N$-component scalar filed theory and then extend this approach to Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories with $N_f$ fermions. In the latter case, due to self-interaction of non-Abelian fields the proposed recipe requires some modification which, however, does not change the main results. The resulting effective coupling is dimensionless and is running in accordance with the usual RG equations. The corresponding beta function is calculated in the leading order and is nonpolynomial in effective coupling. It exhibits either UV asymptotically free or IR free behaviour depending on the dimension of space-time. The original dimensionful coupling plays a role of a mass and is also logarithmically renormalized. We analyze also the analytical properties of a resulting theory and demonstrate that in general it acquires several ghost states with negative and/or complex masses. In the former case, the ghost state can be removed by a proper choice of the coupling. As for the states with complex conjugated masses, their contribution to physical amplitudes cancels so that the theory appears to be unitary.
