Radiative isotropic cosmologies with extra dimensions

We solve Einstein's equations in an n-italic-dimensional vacuum with the simplest ansatz leading to a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) four-dimensional space time. We show that the FRW model must be of radiation. For the open models the extra dimensions contract as a result of cosmological evolution. For flat and closed models they contract only when there is one extra dimension.
