Examples

Ten components are identified with the four-dimensional spacetime metric, four components with the electromagnetic vector potential, and one component with an unidentified scalar field sometimes called the " radion " or the "dilaton". Source: Internet

The field equations are indeed amenable to such a generalization (as shown with the inclusion of a one-graviton process citation ) and yield the correct Newtonian limit in d dimensions but only if a dilaton is included. Source: Internet
