Scientific paper
We investigate the propagation of multidimensional gravitational waves generated before compactification and observes today as 4-dimensional gravitational waves and gauge fields by generalizing the investigation of Alesci and Montani(AM) to the case where the internal space is an n-sphere. We also derive the 4-dimensional forms of the multidimensional harmonic gauge condition. The primary difference from the case of AM comes from the effect of curvature of the internal space which prevent the space to be static. The other effects are explicitly shown for propagation of the waves in our 4-dimensional spacetime. Static internal space exists if multidimensional cosmologicalconstant is present. Then the situation is similar to the one-dimensional internal space.
