Similarities between nonlinear electron-plasmon interactions in a cylindrical mesoscopic system and Kaluza-Klein theories, which stem from the analogy between the angular coordinate of a nanocylinder with the compactified coordinates of the Kaluza-Klein theories, have been considered. These similarities indicate that electron and plasmon states with non-zero angular momenta exhibit strong long-range interaction with each other via exchange of plasmons with zero angular momentum. This insight has been confirmed by finding correspondent solutions of the nonlinear Maxwell equations for interacting plasmons. Such solutions have important consequences for description of electromagnetic and transport properties of mesoscopic metallic wires, holes and rings, such as recent observation of density-dependent spin polarization in quantum wires. Numerical estimates indicate that the latter effect can be explained by the electron energy level splitting in the gyration field induced due to the magneto-optical effect by the current flowing through the quantum wire.
