Abstract

A homogeneous cosmological model in Kaluza–Klein metric is obtained assuming a time-dependent equation of state. The solution is in fact generalization of an earlier work by Hajj and Boutros for a perfect fluid. It is also found that dimensional reduction of the extra space takes place such that the five-dimensional universe naturally evolves into an effective four-dimensional one. The dynamical behaviour of the model is examined and it is also found that with a decrease in extra space the observable three-dimensional space entropy increase thus accounting for the large value of entropy observable at present.
