Reconsidering extra time-like dimensions
(Springer Verlag, 2006) Erdem, Recai; Ün, Cem Salih
In this study we reconsider the phenomenological problems related to tachyonic modes in the context of extra time-like dimensions. First we reconsider a lower bound on the size of extra time-like dimensions and improve on the conclusion in the literature. Next we discuss the issues of spontaneous decay of stable fermions through tachyonic decays and disappearance of fermions due to tachyonic contributions to their self-energies. We find that the tachyonic modes due to extra time-like dimensions are less problematic than the tachyonic modes in the usual 4-dimensional setting because the most troublesome Feynman diagrams are forbidden once the conservation of momentum in the extra time-like dimensions is imposed.

Fermion Families and Chirality Through Extra Dimensions
(Springer Verlag, 2002) Erdem, Recai
We give a simple model to explain the origin of fermion families and chirality through the use of a domain wall-anti-domain wall pair placed in a five dimensional space-time. Higher dimensional spaces have been revived in the last years by the hope that the extra space dimensions other than the usual three dimensions may be experimentally accessible in the near future...
