Euler-form actions and the vanishing of the cosmological constant
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
We investigate the conditions of the vanishing cosmological constant and the presence of gravity and vector gauge fields in a D-dimensional non-Abelian Kaluza-Klein theory based on a dimensionally continued 2N-dimensional Euler-form action. It is shown that these conditions can be satisfied only for D = 2N+3. .AE
