Abstract

Starting from a 5D-geometrical background, we show that a reduction mechanism to 4D-spacetimes reproduces Extended Theories of Gravity (ETGs) that are direct generalizations of Einstein's gravity. Such theories are described by the GL(4)-group of diffeomorphisms where the additional gravitational degrees of freedom can be dealt under the standard of spacetime deformations. Besides, such deformations can be related to the mass spectra of particles. The intrinsic non-linearity of ETGs gives an energy-dependent running coupling, while torsion gives rise to interactions among spinors displaying the structure of the weak forces among fermions. We discuss how this scheme is compatible with the known observational evidence and suggest that eventual discrepancies could be detected in experiments, as ATLAS and CMS, today running at LHC (CERN). We finally discuss the consequences of the present approach in view of unification of physical interactions.
