Abstract
In Kaluza-Klein models, the compactification ofa high number of extra spatial dimensions generatesentropy in the observable four-dimensional universe. AKaluza–Klein cosmological model recently derived from the bosonic string theory in the limit ofan infinite number of extra dimensions is compared withthe available data from the observations of cosmicmicrowave background anisotropies.
