Abstract

We consider a multidimensional universe with the topology M= \R× M₁× ⋯ × M_n, where the M_i (i>1) are d_i-dimensional Ricci flat spaces. Exploiting a conformal equivalence between minimal coupling models and conformal coupling models, we get exact solutions for such an universe filled by a conformally coupled scalar field. One of the solutions can be used to describe trapped unobservable extra dimensions.
