A simple kinematical constraint is postulated that correlates the expansion rates of the external and internal spaces in terms of a real parameter {\\lambda}. A specific solution for which both the external and internal spaces expand at different rates is given analytically for n=3. Assuming that the internal dimensions were at Planck length scales when the external space starts with a Big Bang (t=0), they expand only 1.49 times and stay at Planck length scales even in the present age of the universe (13.7 Gyr). The effective four dimensional universe would exhibit a behavior consistent with our current understanding of the observed universe. It would start in a stiff fluid dominated phase and evolve through radiation dominated and pressureless matter dominated phases, eventually going into a de Sitter phase at late times.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-03-31T19:58:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cosmological model", "kinematical constraint", "higher dimensions", "planck length scales", "internal space" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "General Relativity and Gravitation", "year": 2013, "month": "Jun", "volume": 45, "number": 6, "pages": 1211 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1085497, "adsabs": "2013GReGr..45.1211A" } } }
