Abstract

Large-scale two-dimensional quantum fluctuations of five-dimensional space-time metric are constructed and the effect of the fluctuations on the nested four-dimensional worlds is studied. In doing so, the fluctuations affect not all four-dimensional worlds but only a part of them. The energy-momentum tensor of four-dimensional space-time has a physical form both in the absence and in the presence of fluctuations; it means that the fluctuations can be realized by real matter. A spatial region occupied by the fluctuations constructed in this work can be infinitely large and the fluctuations can occur during a long period of time. Therefore, we refer to these fluctuations as large-scale fluctuations.
